William Parish (Anthony Hopkins) to Joe Black (Brad Pitt) in Meet Joe Black (1999): 'Love is passion . Obsession. Someone you can't live without. Someone you fall head over heels for. Find someone you can love like crazy, and will love you the same way back . Listen to your heart . No sense in life without this. To make the journey without falling deeply in-love , you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try, because if you haven't tried , then you haven't lived.'
Leon (Melvyn Douglas) to the Soviet enjoy Ninotchka (Greta Garbo) in Ninotchka (1939): 'Love isn't so simple, Ninotchka. Ninotchka, why do doves bill and coo? Why do snails, the coldest of all creatures, circle interminably around each other? Why do moths fly hundred of miles to find their mates? Why do flowers slowly open their petals? Oh, Ninotchka, Ninotchka, surely you feel some slight symptom of the divine passion . A general warmth, a strange heaviness in your limbs, a burning of the lips that isn't thirst but something a thousand times more tantalizing, more exalting than thirst.'
