Comedian Jim Gaffigan once said, “Without Valentine’s Day, February would be… well, January.” And he was right. The month of February is pretty much defined by Valentine’s Day, which comes smack dab in the middle of the month and offers something warm and fuzzy to look forward to in the midst of a cold winter. And there’s no one way to celebrate it. Some like being alone. Others cosy up with a best friend. Maybe you’re more of a classic love story type, preferring expensive gifts and fine dining. For others, a night in with a home-cooked meal is enough. However you choose to spend Valentine’s Day, the most important thing is that you express your love for that most important person or people in your life. And if you’re struggling to find the right sentiment, these Valentine’s Day quotes might help inspire you.
Think of them like digital Valentine’s Day cards (if you don’t have time to make one). You don’t have to be hit by Cupid’s arrow to feel the love with these Valentine’s day messages. True love comes in all kinds of strange and unexpected forms.
