The other day I came across this. While I can't say I yet agree with the first sentence, if he is talking about earthly life on this planet, and I don't know the context but intend to try to find it, I think I know what he means.
"Love is life. All, everything that I
understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is,
everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it
alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love,
shall return to the general and eternal source." Leo Tolstoy
