5 unique Valentine’s Day quotes

For the love of… Valentine’s Day! Let’s celebrate love, for love’s sake. There’s so much unrest right now in the world, so let’s spread some positive vibes in this moment. You’ve likely read a lot of Valentine’s Day quotes, but hopefully, these ones are new. They’re unique, as are you.

5 memorable quotes on Valentine’s Day

Let’s get right to it:

1. Let’s start with Zelda Fitzgerald

“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.”

― Zelda Fitzgerald

The love story of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald began so sweetly. They met at a country club dance in 1918, by chance. They would go on to exchange over 300 letters full of passion and beautiful phrasing until they married in 1920.

While what was to come after could be described as tumultuous, on this day of love, I focus on those letters. It’s a choice, and I’m sticking with it.

2. Spread self-love too

“Believe in yourself. Stay in your own lane. There’s only one you.”

— Queen Latifah

Oh yes! Fabulous singer and actor Queen Latifah is right about that. You’ve got to love yourself before you can love anyone else, in my opinion, so talking about the self is important on Valentine’s Day.

Once you rock it in your mind, body, and soul, you’re open to what comes your way, whether that is your forever one or anything else that makes you smile. Stay in your lane and put your foot on the gas pedal!

3. Besties for the win!

“Friendship is another word for love”

— Unknown

Well, Unknown nailed this one. If you’re going to look for love, why not look around at your friends? You just might find yourself surrounded by a heck of a lot of affection.

Don’t underestimate the value of friendships. These are the people who listen to you, offer suggestions to ease your problems, and give you a hug when really in need of that comfort.

4. There’s a learning phase

“We can only learn to love by loving.”

— Iris Murdoch

Novelist Iris Murdoch got this one right. I believe there is a lot to learn from past relationships. If I had met my husband earlier in life, I don’t think I would have been ready to accept the depth of love that he offers me.

Once I took the lessons learned over the years and grew into my full self, I was able to receive and give back love to him as he deserves. Only because I learned and grew so much, putting work into myself.

5. Thank those who helped you get here

“No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.”

— Althea Gibson

You haven’t done it alone, and tennis player Althea Gibson expresses the need to acknowledge that well. How is it a Valentine’s Day quote?

Because I want you to take her words a step further and reach out to someone who helped you reach a goal and say thank you. Showing love to someone else is a beautiful thing, and I think the person on the receiving end will value your message.
