“A mighty pain to love it is,
And 't is a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain.”

Abraham Cowley (1618–1667) British writer

From Anacreon, vii. Gold; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

“I think that truth is the highest value, although it has to be embedded in love. What I mean by that is that truth should serve the highest good imaginable. For me, that is what is best for each individual, in the manner that is simultaneously best for the family, and the state, and nature itself. But you can only want that good if you love Being.”

Jordan Peterson (1962) Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor of psychology

But did my fate and wish agree,
Ne'er had been read, in story old,
Of maiden true betray'd for gold,
That loved, or was avenged, like me.”
