∙ 12y agoThe quote "'Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all." comes from In Memoriam A.H.H, by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
A fun fact to know is that Tennyson spent 17 years writing this book, and was granted the title of Lord by Queen Victoria because of it. He started to write In Memoriam shortly after his friend (Arthur Henry Hallam) passed away. It explores the subject matter of Grief, which is why it was so appealing to the Queen (who spent much of her life mourning her late husband, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha).
One thing to keep in mind is that most people misuse this quotation. In popular culture, the love discussed in this quote is used to reference romance, yet the context of the quote tells us it in fact means the love of friendship.
Hope this helped!
