It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. --William Shakespeare.
"Amé, fui amado, el sol acarició mi faz.
Vida, nada me debes! Vida, estamos en paz!"
-- Amado Nervo
(I loved, and was loved, the sun caressed my face.
Life, you owe me nothing! Life, we're at peace!)

I think it is better to love and not be loved rather than have never loved at all. To love someone is something incredibly profound. Nowadays, most people don't really have a real inkling as to what true love is. They often confuse it with varying factors, and no doubt that our culture as much to do with it, especially the silly Cinderella romances, love at first sight, all these phantasmagoric and unbelievable perceptions.
Aesthetically, love is comprised of both internal and external beauty. If you can fall in love, true love, with someone, than its the most beautiful sight, in it of itself. It is better to have loved and lost, than never at all. Anyone deprived of true love is deprived of one of the most intellectual, spiritual, and emotional experiences in the world.
It is certainly worth it, even if the relationship is not both ways. Most poets and attain their inspirations through their unshakable emotional attachments.
"She was a phantom of delight
When first she gleamed upon my sight;
A lovely Apparition, sent
To be a moment's ornament;
Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair;
Like Twilight's, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful Dawn;
A dancing Shape, an Image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and way-lay." -William Wordsworth
