The older I get the more I start to see the funny side of life. Strange really because when I was younger I was often tempted to think that older people were too serious and 'stuffy' - well it must have been the naivety of youth because I was wrong! Which brings me to the point of this blog entry .... as Valentine's Day approaches, I wondered what famous people have thought and said publicly about 'love'. I read up on this and, to be honest, it's the witty quotations that appeal to me most.
Here are some great examples:
- "Gravitation can not be held responsible for people falling in love."
Albert Einstein - "I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known."
Walt Disney - "The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post."
George Bernard Shaw
The one I like the most is by Baltimore-born satirist Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) and could be a contender for the ultimate Valentine's Day card ....
"Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence"
