Passion.

Passion.
It lies in all of us. Sleeping. Waiting.
And though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir. Open its jaws,
And howl.
It speaks to us. Guides us.
Passion rules us all.
And we obey. What other choice do we have?
Passion is the source of our finest moments.
The joy of love.
The clarity of hatred.
The ecstacy of grief.
It hurts sometimes more than we can bear.
If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace.
But we would be hollow.
Empty rooms, shuttered and dank.
Without passion, we'd be truly dead.

---Angel. Episode: Passion.

Moments.

Here's the thing, there's moments in your life that make you,
That set the course for who you're going to be.
Sometimes they're little subtle moments,
Sometimes they're not.
I'll show you what I mean.
Bottom line is, even if you see them coming,
You're not ready for the big moments.
No one asked for their life to change.
Not really, but it does.
So what are we? Helpless? Puppets? No.
The big moments are going to come.
You can't help that.
It's what you do afterwards that counts.
That is when you find out who you are.

You'll see what I mean. . .

---Whistler. Episode: Becoming part ll.

Love's Bitch.

You're not friends.
You'll never be friends.
You'll be in love 'till it kills you both.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other until it makes you quiver,
But you'll never be friends.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood.
Blood screaming inside you to work its will.
I may be love's bitch,
But at least I'm man enough to admit it.

---Spike. Episode: Lover's Walk.
