- Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine! Thomas Hood
- I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon. Author Unknown
- I claim there ain't
Another Saint
As great as Valentine.
Ogden Nash
- Must, bid the Morn awake!
Sad Winter now declines,
Each bird doth choose a mate;
This day's Saint Valentine's.
For that good bishop's sake
Get up and let us see
What beauty it shall be
That Fortune us assigns.
Michael Drayton
