Multiply it by infinity, and take it to the depth of forever ...

"MEET JOE BLACK" ~ One of my favorite movies ... True, beautiful sentiments ... one could only be so lucky as to actually be thought of in such a way ... a rare gift to cherish and treasure always...


Susan Parrish: Love, passion, obsession, all those things you told me to wait for, well, they've arrived. What are you afraid of, Dad? That I'll fall head over heels for Joe? Well, I have. 

Joe Black:
I don't care Bill. I love her. 

William Parrish:
How perfect for you - to take whatever you want because it pleases you. That's not love. 

Joe Black:
Then what is it? 

William Parrish
: Some aimless infatuation which, for the moment, you feel like indulging - it's missing everything that matters. 
Joe Black:
Which is what? 
William Parrish: Trust, responsibility, taking the weight for your choices and feelings, and spending the rest of your life living up to them. And above all, not hurting the object of your love. 

Joe Black:
So that's what love is according to William Parrish? 

William Parrish:
Multiply it by infinity, and take it to the depth of forever, and you will still have barely a glimpse of what I'm talking about. 
Joe Black:
Those were my words. 
William Parrish: They're mine now. 

William Parrish: I loved Susan from the moment she was born, and I love her now and every minute in between. And what I dream of is a man who will discover her, and that she will discover a man who will love her, who is worthy of her, who is of this world, this time and has the grace, compassion, and fortitude to walk beside her as she makes her way through this beautiful thing called life. Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.
