Context: … but love, like all art, as Oscar said, it's quite useless. It is the useless things that make life worth living and that make life dangerous too: wine, love, art, beauty. Without them life is safe but not worth bothering with.
“It's okay to love someone who doesn't love you back, as long as they're worth loving.”
Variant: It's all right to love someone who doesn't love you back, as long as they're worth you loving them. As long as they deserve it.
