Quotes
-
Mr. O'Neill : "It is better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all." Just what is Lord Tennyson talking about? Brittany?
Brittany : Um, love?
Mr. O'Neill : Anyone else? Daria?
Daria : Well, he's acknowledging that if something makes you feel good, like being in love, there must be a corresponding painful side, like losing a love, and that it's just a fact of life.
Mr. O'Neill : Sad, but true.
Daria : And what's intriguing about it is that no one calls Tennyson a big unhappiness freak just because he understands that.
Mr. O'Neill : Is he a big unhappiness freak?
Daria : No, he's a realist. He says, "Emotional involvement brings pleasure and extraordinary pain." Then he declares that it's better than feeling nothing at all.
Mr. O'Neill : That is excellent, Daria.
Daria : Of course, this was before the advent of community property laws.
