I'll just go ahead and get the inevitable Vonnegut quote out of the way:
QuoteI will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.

Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not.

So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things.

What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for instance.

And all music is.

Except Easter, which is when Jesus came out of his cave and saw his shadow, so they had 400 more years of Rome.

I don't think that I ever spent money on a Valentine's card--of course that's easy for me to say when you can just buy a bigass bouquet of roses for three bucks.

Oh, you crazy Belgians, with your socialist state-subsidized flowers... In the US, during the week leading up to VD, flower prices more than triple.  A "bigass bouquet of roses" will run you about $60, if you decide to go cheap.

I should add that the thee bucks ones, you can only get at the street market (twice a week), shortly before 5pm when they have to close shop and they have to throw out the flowers anyway because next day they'll be too ugly to sell. Otherwise it's 5 euros :P But those aren't the prettiest bouquets. You can probably get one for E10 and they'll all be extra nice-looking. Or get a real fancy bouquet with other flowers for up to E20. Anything more expensive gets into the HUGE bouquets category, the kind for real special occasions, to groups of people or as expensive interior design items.

The only cheap flowers here are the ones the growers sometimes pay day workers in.

Yep. Totally illegal here in California but it happens anyway. Most of them are illegal and are too afraid to complain.

The flowers aren't really the most evil thing about the way some farmers treat the day workers. That would be calling the INS right before quitting time, forcing them to either flee without their pay or be arrested.
