“Tis better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at all.”

“I hold it true, whate'er befall;I feel it when I sorrow most;'Tis better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at all.Verse XXVII”

“Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.' In other words, love is a dominant strategy.”

“Want to know the biggest lie ever written? 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”

“I envy not in any moodsThe captive void of noble rage,The linnet born within the cage,That never knew the summer woods:I envy not the beast that takesHis license in the field of time,Unfetter’d by the sense of crime,To whom a conscience never wakes;Nor, what may count itself as blest,The heart that never plighted trothBut stagnates in the weeds of sloth;Nor any want-begotten rest.I hold it true, whate’er befall;I feel it, when I sorrow most;‘Tis better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at all.”

“Tis better to have love and lustThan to let our apparatus rust.”
