13 Valentine's Day Quotes To Post On Facebook

Whether or not you have somebody special to spend Feb. 14 with this year, you can still celebrate the concept of love, and you can do it with these awesome Valentine's Day quotes for Facebook. You post ridiculous amounts of selfies, you "check-in" to every restaurant you eat at, and you share recipe videos like it's nobody's business... so why not post a quote or two in honor of a holiday that honors and observes the act of love?

Though Valentine's Day has been sold to America as a day focused on romantic relationships, it sure doesn't have to be interpreted solely in that way. In fact, I think we should use Valentine's Day to celebrate all kinds of love: romantic, friendship, humanity-driven, and general world love. Doesn't that sound nice?

These Valentine's Day quotes cover the boundaries of love, and trust me when I say that they are wide and deep. And isn't that exactly how our love for one another should be? Wide and deep. Take a moment to read through these wonderful words of wisdom, and take another moment to post one or two on your Facebook wall on Feb. 14. Don't worry, you'll definitely get lots of "likes" for it.
