I agree - Life and Love are inseparable. I couldn't think about better comment than this brilliant poem:
A Parting Guest
What delightful hosts are they — Life and Love! Lingeringly I turn away, This late hour, yet glad enough They have not withheld from me their high hospitality. So, with face lit with delight And all gratitude, I stay Yet to press their hands and say, "Thanks.—So fine a time! Good night." (James Whitcomb Riley)
I, on my part, would say: "What's the use of Life without having partaken of Love's hospitality?!", which is in full harmony with your quote. Thank you for sharing, dear poet!

A Parting Guest
What delightful hosts are they —
Life and Love!
Lingeringly I turn away,
This late hour, yet glad enough
They have not withheld from me their high hospitality.
So, with face lit with delight
And all gratitude, I stay
Yet to press their hands and say,
"Thanks.—So fine a time! Good night."
(James Whitcomb Riley)
