Who needs 50 Shades of Grey, when there’s a million shades of geeky out there for the ones you love…whether expressing romantic love, appreciation to the loyalty of friends, or devotion to family this Valentine’s Day.
Love is best when served geeky, and there have been plenty more ways to express love in the various geeky universes, since we ran our first set of “Perfect Quotes for Your Geeky Valentine” ran in 2014.
It’s definitely time for more!
One movie that inspired love recently was Wonder Woman, but not necessarily romantic love. Love of your fellow people, love of life, and love defeating all hate. Plus, Gal Godot is just plain awesome. Two favorites from Diana:
“Only Love can truly save the world.”
“It’s not about ‘deserve.’ It’s about what you believe. And I believe in Love.”
There’s are also some great mother-to-daughter quotes from Queen Hippolyta from both the movies and comics:
“You have been my greatest love. Today you are my greatest sorrow.” ( for when they set off on their own)
“In a world full of ordinary mortals, you are a Wonder Woman.”
On the other side of the coin, there’s Deadpool, who’ll leave no offensive comment unsaid, but we love him for it. He did say, his movie is a “love story.”
Here are a few for Deadpool fans, that’s I’ll try to keep in the PG-13 range. No “can I see you between the holidays” quips:
“Love is a beautiful thing. When you find it, the whole world tastes like daffodil daydream.”
“Your crazy matches my crazy. Big time.”
“I swear to God, I’m gonna’ find you in the next life, and I’m gonna boombox ‘Careless Whisper’ outside your window.”
“You don’t need to be a superhero to get the girl. The right girl will bring out the hero in you.”
Awww…bring that man his unicorn.
