Quote by J.E Buckrose

Happiness comes more from loving than being loved; and often when our affection seems wounded it is only our vanity bleeding. To love, and to be hurt often, and to love again -- this is the brave and happy life.

Happiness comes more from loving than being loved; and often

Summary

This quote suggests that true happiness is found in the act of loving others rather than solely focusing on being loved by others. It implies that when we feel hurt or rejected in our relationships, it may be due to our own vanity or ego being wounded rather than a true reflection of love's absence. The quote encourages us to continue loving despite the possibility of getting hurt, as it is through this resilience and willingness to love again that we can lead a brave and fulfilled life.
