Valentine's Day quotes, sayings for your sweetheart

When it comes to Valentine's Day, the romantic poet in all of us finally lets loose.

From the child who brings home a crayon-written poem to Mom, to the smartest folks of all time, like Albert Einstein, romance generates a love-sick muse so often expressed in words.

Speaking of Einstein, here's his scientific take on romance: "Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love," he said.
