Here are some Leslie Knope quotes — because the handiest strategy to pregame Valentine's Day is to spend Galentine's Day with your pals.
Valentine's Day could be depressingly close, but that means Galentine's Day is just around the corner.
“What's Galentine's Day? Oh, it's only the most efficient day of the yr," Leslie Knope, the originator of the unofficial holiday and Parks and Recreation character once said.
The fictional holiday has become a staple among those with and without significant others this romantic holiday season as a way to celebrate friendships.

These are the best Leslie Knope quotes to share with your friends for Galentine's Day.
“Every February 13, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies," Leslie described the vacation. "It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.”
However you plan to celebrate Galentine's Day with your gal pals, we hope these quotes from the holiday's founder herself will help inspire your activities — or even work as good Instagram captions.
1. "I'm gonna get drunk, and then I'm gonna order a three-course meal where each direction is made from dessert."
Honestly, there is no better plan than that on a day meant to be celebrating your friends. When else will it be socially acceptable to have three courses of dessert in one sitting?
2. "You shut your mouth. You have the entire strengths."
This is especially handy for those friends with a bad case of Imposter Syndrome. Celebrate your successful friends this Galentine's Day — or even the friends who need to remember their potential and abilities.

4. “I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself.”
If your Galentine's Day plans can't include your friends, then what better way to celebrate than by celebrating the ultimate gal pal: yourself. Because you should be your own best friend, and your best friend deserves some recognition.

5. “We need to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn’t matter, but work is third.”
Personally, our preference is waffles, friends, work, but you can put these in the order you see best (as long as work is third, of course).

Got a chum who questions their own ability or possible for personal or professional luck? This is well a quote that may cheer them proper up — or on the very least remind them how essential they are to you.
