This is why Meet Joe Black is one of my favorite movies....

PARRISH

Oh yes, I am.  Not an ounce of

excitement, not a whisper of a

thrill, this relationship has all

the passion of a pair of titmice.

Well, it worries me.  I want you

to get swept away.  I want you to

levitate.  I want you to sing with

rapture and dance like a dervish.

Be deliriously happy.  Or at least

leave yourself open to be.

I know it's a cornball thing but

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?  I say fall

head over heels.  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.

Stay open.  Who knows?
