Are you romantic?



St Valentine's Day  is about.... The way you make me feel (Michael Jackson)






      Authors, poets and playwrights (=dramaturgo)  have been trying to capture love in words for thousands of years.   Check out this collection of quotes (=citas)  about love from some of the world's most famous romantics

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
- Aristotle

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
- Anais Nin

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
-Helen Keller

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this 
- Pablo Neruda, "Love Sonnet XVII"


  Cupid, Roman God of Love, is perhaps the most famous of all Valentine symbols, As the son of Venus, he is often depicted as a mischievous (=travieso), winged (=alado) child whose arrows  (=flechas) pierce the hearts of his victims, causing them to fall in love. Cupid is derived from the Latin word cupido, which means "desire." His Greek counterpart is Eros (from whom comes the word "erotic"),


Even Cupido has problems with taxes...



And... just in case you have not seen it yet, this is the most famous wedding entrance EVER!

Romantic? Cheerful? Different?... HAPPY!
