Quotations and Literature Forum

I'm looking for some quotes that are sort of like it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Also any quotes that express the sentiment that sometimes all you want to feel is something, anything at all whether it be good or bad. Sort of like this quote from a song by the Sons of the Desert.
"A change even for the worst would be better somehow"

"The essential sadness is to go through life without loving. But it would be almost equally sad to leave this world Without ever telling those you loved that you love them."
- Author Unknown
"Fear? What is there to fear in love? Love is the very reason we live. To fear love is to lose all sense of living, And if we cannot love, then why have we been put here? Fearing love is like being afraid of breathing. It's not something to be scared of. It's something so natural that no one can resist."
- Tyler's speech from "A Heartbeat Away" An orignal Story
"Unless it's mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it's a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life. Love shouldn't be one of them."
~ Movie: Dream for an Insomniac

From the list of quotations on this site;

Change your thoughts and you change your world.
Norman Vincent Peale (1898 - 1993)

Henry

Robert Burns wrote;

Had we never lov'd sae kindly,
Had we never lov'd sae blindly,
Never met - or never parted --
We had ne'er been broken-hearted.

Do you think he regretted the romance or not?

"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."
