I was watching "Meet Joe Black" for the nth time, and was struck by this quotation. As it's close to Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share it.

"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."

William Parrish, "Meet Joe Black".

I'd forgot about this film and I loved it, might need to watch it again now.

I feel guilty because you're saying something really profound and I have these two songs in my head based on your blog title:

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice :)xx

For me Love has always been the unbridled need to put someone elses hopes, dreams, pleaure and happiness before your own. To have that returned... heaven!!!

You know when love has ended because that need dwindles or disappears completely...

:) and I am not talking about being a doormat... :)

Made entirely of flaws stitched together with good intentions!

I have never really attempted to analyse love in such a way before but I think you really hit the nail on the head there in terms of how the extent to which I have felt this towards people has often correlated with the extent to which I feel love (or not lol)

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice :)xx
