If you have designs on someone this Valentine’s Day, you could do worse than listen to the advice of Liz and Em; a couple of women who should know
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, in our February issue we’ve pictured cards from the deck Love Oracles: Sex and Romance Inspiration from the Good, the Bad and the Beautiful by Anna Higgie (available from Laurence King). You can read more wisdom on love from everyone from George Michael to Joan Collins on p45 of the ‘Thrive’ issue. Here are a couple just to whet your appetite…
Elizabeth Taylor on love…
On flings and things: “Don’t run so fast that you can’t be caught.”
On relationships: “You can be a big fan of marriage - just be an even bigger fan of diamonds.”
On friends and family: “True friends last longer than marriage, however many times you marry.”
Emily Bronte on love…
Emily Bronte on flings and things: “If you ever looked at me once with what I know is in you I would be your slave.”
On heartbreak: “Hearts can be broken but souls should be shared.”
On friends and family: “Love is like the wild-rose briar, friendship like the holly tree… But which will bloom most constantly?”
