I prefer the Non-defeatist version:

"Whoever has thought most deeply, loves what is most alive; Who has seen the world as it is, knows virtue. And at last, those who turn wise will often End up in the Beautiful."

“Socrates and Alcibiades” by Friedrich Holderlin (1770 – 1843)

They were about duty vs the mere emotion of physical attachment.
