About This Quote
Why love what you will lose? There is nothing else to love. William Shakespeare's line, "Why love what you will lose?" is a reference to the tragedy of loss. It is the tragedy of the lover who knew his true love, but lost her anyway. A man may never know if he truly loves someone, but he must act in some way that he believes is loving. The line means that some things are worth more than many other things and life is full of sacrifices and sacrifices make us human.
