This Valentine’s Day, along with the flowers, candies, and gifts, why not add a personal touch? There is nothing like the power of words, whether written or spoken, to make their heart flutter. Don’t worry if you can’t work magic with words: Some of the world’s best writers have already done it for you. All you have to do is choose a quote that describes how you feel, and there are plenty to choose from. Cover the house in notes of quotes! Leave a romantic quote on their pillow or in their car; tuck some verses in with the flowers you send. Better yet, I recommend whispering some of these quotes to your special someone at the end of a romantic evening to show that you cared enough to commit the words to memory. I have compiled some of the most romantic quotes below for your perusal.
