Understanding this quote
The speaker treats happiness and love as two names for the same good thing, rather than separate experiences. The final line adds firm conviction: this is a claim they have made openly and do not intend to withdraw. The quote therefore presents love as the central meaning of happiness, while standing confidently by that view.
