Love is risky. It requires us to expose our hearts to others, sometimes with agonizing results. Some people would rather run into a burning building than to open themselves up to that kind of danger. However, trying to protect ourselves from the risks of love means withdrawing from life.
There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it in tact, you must give your heart to no one., not even a pet. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

The Grind - 2012 Better to Have Loved and Lost Than to Have Not Loved at All 1-2 was released on: USA: 16 March 2012
It was written in 1850 by Alfred Lord Tennyson in his poem "In Memoriam:27" I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
i think it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Because at least you had some experience and made mistakes that you can learn from it. Normally, after losing love, you'll be depressed, but then once you're over the depression you will know how to make you're mistakes and you're experiences help you in the future. I mean, being never loved, really means that you'll never know really, what IS the real world and really won't help you be more insightful and understanding about things. I think having loved and lost is better - if i can even use that word. You likely have warm memories. If youd never loved youd feel an intense emptyness since a young age.
The correct line is 'tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all' by Alfred Lord Tennyson, the poem is called In Memoriam and dated 1850...as follows I hold it true, what'er befall, / I feel it, when I sorrow most, / 'tis better to have loved and lost, / than never to have loved at all.
"Better to have loved a short man than never to have loved a tall."
Definately lost. I imagine death to be painful and I would cry all night. But, it is better to love and lose than to have never loved at all.
"Better to have loved a short man than never to have loved a tall."
