18 Insightful Valentine's Quotes for Singles

If you are single, then Valentine's Day may not be the best time of the year for you. In fact, some are calling it, "Singles Awareness Day." Seeing other people celebrating their love can make you a little envious. Even if you have a great life and aren't actively seeking a partner, it's easy to start hating on the holiday and perhaps feeling sorry for yourself.

However, don't be let down. Lift your sagging spirits by reading these Valentine's quotes and by dreaming of your own happily-ever-after. It doesn't have to include a knight in shining armor or a princess to be rescued.
