One of the most beloved TV characters said it best. Cameron Tucker seamlessly delivered how we find partners that balance our dreams and realities. Check out this quote from one of our favorite Missourians.

• “There are dreamers, and there are realists in this world. You’d think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists who find the realists, but more often than not, the opposite is true. You see, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists? Well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground.” – Cameron Tucker, Modern Family.

Other Valentine’s Quotes

Quotes for the Day of Hearts are not only found in TV or the movies but also in the Bible. A few bible verses about love include:

• 1 Corinthians 16:14 – Let all that you do be done in love
• 1 Corinthians 16:4-7 – Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude
• Colossians 3:14 – And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

Valentine’s quotes for love are not only limited to the screens, but they can be found all around. From books to the things people say to us every single day.

Why Do We Love TV or Movie Characters So Much?

There’s no denying that many of us look for inspiration from our favorite characters. It’s possible because they represent the parts of ourselves that we want to show or we want to embody. Another quote about true love was by Modern Family’s Jay Pritchett (Ed O’Neil), 

“Why do we choose partners so different from ourselves? It’s not fate, or chance, or cliches like ‘the heart wants what it wants.’ We choose our partners because they represent the unfinished business from our childhood. And we choose them because they manifest the qualities we wish we had. In doing so, in choosing such a challenging partner and working to give them what they need we chart a course for our own growth.”

The Bottom Line

There is an expansive list of Valentine’s quotes for love that can be found anywhere. These love quotes are seen in TV shows, movies, books like the Bible, and more. Although February 14 is a day popularly known to be associated with couples, it is still important to express extra love for the other people we have in our lives. It is a day to show extra gratitude and appreciation for them choosing to actively stay in our lives.
