What does Amor Est Vitae Essential mean?

I've checked a few websites but I keep getting different answers. I thought it meant "Love is the essence of life". Thanks.

  1. Love is essential for life?
  2. I'm going to break this down for you Amor- nominative singular, meaning love est- the verb of the sentence, meaning is in this case, a very versatile verb vitae- genitive singular, meaning of life, used to describe the accusative essential- mistranslation of essentiam, which is accusative singlar of essentia, meaning essence or substance So, you were correct in saying the phrase is "Love is the essence of life", but now you know why and know that the correct last word is essentiam. Hope this helps!
  3. Robert B. Mackay (1950~) Australian Analyst wrote; Love is the essence of life. (Amor est vitae essentia) The truly generous is the truly wise, and he who loves not others lives a lie. We can only create what we can imagine. Smells poised on timeless wings ensnare us. Relationships are about reality, not potentiality. Love's cruel measure, is pain. Generally speaking, there are two types of relationships. Either the Man is interested and the Woman isn't, or the Woman is interested and the Man isn't.
