While Valentine's Day is most certainly about expressing love IRL, you can't deny that it also has a purpose and place on social media. The holiday dually acts as a post prompt, which means you're going to want to find a great picture to share, and an even greater caption. This is the greeting card holiday after all, so sharing a few choice romantic words is part of it. To make it easier for you, I've put together a list of quotes about love to use as your Valentine's Day caption on social media, because caption-less post purgatory is a real thing.

There's no reason to over-think it, there are so many literary minds that have already said some of the most relatable and moving things about love, so why not just borrow their words instead? Here I've pulled together a collection of thoughts, phrases, quotes, and musings about romantic love, friendship, self love, and the human heart. Use these relevant quotes as a captions so that you can post as many sweet photos as your heart desires.
