When O'Brien said "too" I believe he was referring to the true and not so true stories he told us at the beginning of the book and he is trying to tell us that this is one of the true facts.
Stories being able to save us is true. They allow parts of our character, emotions and our souls to live or in some cases live again. For instance when Timmy was imagining Linda not only was he giving her a sense of life he was helping his feelings for her to keep on living and not die when she died. In stories you can bring back things about your self that you thought you had lost. For instance when O'Brien went to war he felt dirty, like he had lost every bit of his innocence and purity, but at the end of the book he sees himself as a young boy again and that innocence and purity gain life again. I think personally that such things never truly die, they just get buried, they are forced to go to sleep and in stories they are unburied and reawakened. We are brought back to a sense of our old self and we then learn how to blend, create a balance, with the old and the new to make you.
