\"\"<\/a>Ah, Valentine\u2019s Day. A day for romance, hearts, flowers and chocolates. A day for heartfelt proclamations of love. <\/p>\n

Not all of us are good at the latter however, so here\u2019s a little help. A poll of 2,000 Britons by Warner Home Video showed that a line from Emily Bronte\u2019s Wuthering Heights is considered the most romantic in English literature. The line? “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not so easy to drop into conversation, so what of the others in the top ten?<\/p>\n

2. “If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you” – A A Milne<\/p>\n

3.”But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun” – Shakespeare “Romeo and Juliet”<\/p>\n

4. “He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong” – W.H. Auden<\/p>\n

5. “You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams” – Dr. Seuss<\/p>\n

6.” When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part” – “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin”<\/p>\n

7. “Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be” – Robert Browning<\/p>\n

8.”For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow” – Rosemonde Gerard<\/p>\n

9. “But to see her was to love her, love but her, and love her forever” – Robert Burns<\/p>\n

10. “I hope before long to press you in my arms and shall shower on you a million burning kisses as under the Equator” – Napoleon Bonaparte’s 1796 dispatch to wife Josephine. (Source: Canada.com<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
