Quotes From Meet Joe Black:
Juliet: My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early
seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love
it is to me that I must love a loathed enemy.
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.
William Parrish: 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.
