The Best February Quotes to Read During the Month of Love (2024)

February is such an interesting month! For one, it sort of feels like it's marking the beginning of the end of something—it's the last full month of winter! It's also the shortest month of the year at 28 days. (Not to mention that sometimes it becomes 29 days... because of the Leap Year!) Plus, it's often described as the month of love—we have Valentine's Day to thank for that! (But, don't forget about all of the other fun holidays in February, either.) In all, it's kind of hard to define February! So instead of trying to do it ourselves, we thought we'd create a list of the best February quotes instead.

These quotes are pretty great. Some admire the month, using pleasant words to describe it. This one from Charmaine J. Forde shows just that: “Though February is short, it is filled with lots of love and sweet surprises.” Others on this list are a bit more comical. (We didn't say that everyone liked the month!) Read this one by Lemony Snicket for a chuckle: “February is the shortest month, so if you’re having a miserable month, try to schedule it for February.” There are also a bunch of winter quotes on here that double as winter Instagram captions, too!

Just read through these, and you'll see why February might be the most fascinating month of them all!
