Better to have loved....

[serafaery]

Quote taken from a review by Arthur Smid of a film called "O'Horten", playing in the Portland International Film Festival:

Each individual finds strength by following their heart. Whether the limitations are imposed by society or a sense of duty, the absence in an old person is the weakness of expression that inevitably comes to us if we fail to love. If we cannot truly love, we die inside. Love needs exercise: you need to pursue the dream.

I believe so much in that statement. I once loved and was heartbroke ever since, its been over ten years now and my heart is still for that person. But all the same i believe those words to be rather accurate, sigh.
