Famous quotes containing the words saint, valentine, day and/or stamp:
“This Light inspires, and plays upon
The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
Such language as no mortal Ear
But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“There would have to be something wrong with someone who could throw out a child’s first Valentine card saying, “I love you, Mommy.””
—Ginger Hutton (20th century)
“Before a day was over,
Home comes the rover,
For mother’s kiss—sweeter this
Than any other thing!”
—William Allingham (1824–1889)
