Love hinders death. 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.
(War and Peace, 1869)

All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth. If you look for perfection, you'll never be content.
