Quotable Qoute*^*^*^*^*

When love is not madness, it is not love. 
~Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Many are the starrs I see, but in my eye no starr like thee.
 ~English saying used on poesy rings

Loving is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction. 
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand, and Stars, 1939

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.  ~Albert Einstein

I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. 
When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby
toddler coming at me with a weapon.  ~Author Unknown


For you see, each day I love you more
Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.
~Rosemonde Gerard

Valentine Day - a day for the exchange of tokens of affection
February 14, Saint Valentine's Day, St Valentine's Day. It is
a liturgical celebration associated with Saint Valentine who
is said to have been imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers
who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who
 were persecuted under the Roman Empire. During his imprisonment,
he is said to have healed the daughter of his jailer Asterius. Legend
states that before his execution he wrote "from your Valentine" as
a farewell to her.

The day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of
Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition
of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into
an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by
presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting
cards (known as "valentines").[1][3] Valentine's Day symbols that
are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the
figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten
valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards

High Heels

As for high heels, the scientists say the reasons why they sell are not the ones
you will read about in fashion magazines.

Heels change the angle of the buttocks. The higher the heels, the greater the angle.

"A raised backside is attractive to men because it mimics lordosis, the sexually
receptive position that mammalian females adopt prior to mating," notes Gad Saad
of Montreal's Concordia University, author of a book on evolutionary behaviour,
"The Consuming Instinct."

Impressions

A wealthy man commissioned Pablo Picasso to paint a portrait of his wife.
Startled by the nonrepresentational image on the final canvas, the woman's
husband complained, "It isn't how she really looks."

When asked by the painter how she really looked, the man produced a
photograph from his wallet.

Returning the photography Pablo observed, "Small, isn't she?"

The meter goes up to sixty and he says, "Hey, I lost 100 pounds!"
