But sometimes I can really use some help.
Oprah has a list of some really nice lovey dovey quotes... feel free to use them to embellish your Valentine cards. Although I sometimes like to fancy myself a wordsmith, the sad truth is I lack the talent, and these lines are brimming with well-crafted romanticism at its written best. You can end off your personalized note with one well-written quote from another... lovely.
