About This Quote
The idea that if we deny love that is given to us, if we refuse to give love because we fear the pain of loss, then our lives will be empty, our loss greater. The quote above expresses the idea that we should accept and give love, no matter what. We can become so frightened of losing someone that we will turn away from love and spend our lives pretending that it is not there. We can lose ourselves and never find ourselves again or we can fall in love with the person who gives us the greatest joy and spend our lives loving them and never knowing if they feel the same way about us. What this quote is trying to say is that the greatest loss of life is not when we were forced to give up love but when we chose not to reach out for it.
