My soul is wrapped in harsh repose,Midnight descends in raven-colored clothes,But soft… behold!A sunlight beamButting a swath of glimmering gleam.My heart expands,’tis grown a bulge in it,Inspired by your beauty…Effulgent.

I am a leaf on the wind – watch how I soar

Seven years, Dawn. Working with the Slayer. Seeing my friends get more and more powerful… a witch. A demon. Hell, I could fit Oz in my shaving kit, but come a full moon, he had...

Why aren’t you asking a hundred other guys why they don’t write strong women characters? I believe that what I’m doing should not be remarked upon, let alone honoured… Because equality is not a concept....

Recognizing power in another does not diminish your own.

Ain’t all buttons and charts, little albatross. Know what the first rule of flying is? Well I s’pose you do, since you already know what I’m ’bout to say.I do. But I like to hear...

Faith in God means believing absolutely in something with no proof whatsoever. Faith in humanity means believing absolutely in something with a huge amount of proof to the contrary. We are the true believers.

Two things that matter to me. Emotional resonance and rocket launchers.

Everything I do is going to contain the message that men who are going to be comfortable with powerful women are going to be more powerful men

Everything I do in its essence is about helplessness. That’s the story I want to tell all the time. It’s the story I wanted to live – somebody who appears to be, or is, weak...

Everything we do really is just a little marker on the long road to death. And sometimes that’s overwhelmingly depressing to me, and sometimes it makes me feel kinship and forgiveness. We’ve all got the...

When you’re telling a story, you’re trying to connect to people in a particular way … The way in which you guys have inhabited this world, this universe, has made you part of it, part...

The news isn’t there to tell you what happened. It’s there to tell you what it wants you to hear or what it thinks you want to hear.

I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I’m afraid of.

Tonight sucks. And look at me. Look at – look at stupid Buffy. Too dumb for college, and-and-and freak Buffy, too strong for construction work. And-and my job at the magic shop? I was bored...

Wanna know what a bullet feels like, Warren? A real one? It’s not like in the comics…I think you need to. Feel it…It’s not going to make a neat little hole. First – it’ll obliterate...

Equality is not a concept. It’s not something we should be striving for. It’s a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny...

River Tam (Summer Glau): No power in the ‘verse can stop me.

My people – before I was changed – they exchanged this as a sign of devotion. It’s a Claddagh ring. The hands represent friendship; the crown represents loyalty… and the heart… Well, you know… Wear...

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don’t like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy.
