It's Better to have Loved and Lost than Never to Have Loved

It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

(We all lose eventually. Everyone gets left behind at some time—through death or other misfortune.)

Meaning >>

From Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem In Memoriam:27, 1850:

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.
