Be loved.
What a bunch of abstract nonsense. I don't know... both?
Love isn't something you say or feel. It's something you do. You can only love and hope it's reciprocated.
It is better to love.
I have a tremendous capacity for love, and I've found that usually the opposite sex does not have that same capacity. So for me, being loved is better. Though I want to love the one who loves me, otherwise it's just uncomfortable and unpleasant.
50/50!
I like to love.
I like to be loved by you

Nice to see someone say "to be in love." I think there is such a huge difference between loving someone and being in love. I feel like saying "I'm in love with you" is often so much more powerful than "I love you."

Depends on the moment.
To love is totally easy, but to be loved is very hard to find the real one. So i'd rather choose to be loved

If you have to pick one or the other, it's a bad situation either way. Being loved by someone you don't love would be annoying, so I guess that's better than loving someone who doesn't love you back, which would be painful.
both by the same person
