" She wanted to die, but she also wanted to live in Paris. "

Love is the only feeling in this world, which can make you want to live or die for someone.

Death can be used as a metaphor in this quote to express what not living a life means. You feel alive when you're in a state of love, every moment you can feel the calmness inside which makes you happy. It's not only limited to people but also to things which you love. But sometimes this feeling can make you not live in this world.

At one moment one can feel like living in Paris and experiencing the best of the world, but in another moment one can get the feeling of dying.
