Is Valentine's Day a day to make cupcakes with your children? No, Valentine's is supposed to be a day about romantic love.

Each time you love, love as deeply as if it were forever.

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.

Idealizing the reality of past romances won't do you any favors as you face Valentine's Day alone.

One of the major dangers of being alone in February is the tendency to dwell on past relationships. Whether you're daydreaming about that 'one that got away,' or you're recalling the fairy tale date you went on last Valentine's Day, romanticizing the past isn't helpful - nor accurate.

People value Halloween, like Valentine's Day, because they can tell themselves that it's not merely secularized but actually secular, which is to say, not Christian, Jewish, Hindu or Muslim.

I don't find these technical things like flowers and chocolates romantic at all. I think Valentine's Day makes no sense.

In a recent Valentine's Day posting on her fan website, Britney Spears says that - oh, who cares?

I know of only one duty, and that is to love.

Valentine's Day itself, like most holidays in the modern era, has been heavily influenced by commercialism that focuses on the appeal of romantic fantasies.
