21 " 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. "
― Joss Whedon
22 " 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. "
23 " Make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke. "
24 " Don’t give people what they want, give them what they need. "
25 " You either have to write or you shouldn't be writing. That's all. "
26 " It is the most fun I’m ever going to have. I love to write. I love it. I mean, there’s nothing in the world I like better, and that includes sex, probably because I’m so very bad at it. It’s the greatest peace when I’m in a scene, and it’s just me and the character, that’s it, that’s where I want to live my life. "
27 " Everyone has their first date and the object is to hide your flaws. And then you're in a relationship, and it's all about hiding your disappointment. And then, once you're married, it's about hiding your sins. "
28 " Wherever I was, I was happy. At peace. I knew that everyone I cared about was all right. I knew it. Time didn't mean anything, nothing had form but I was still me, you know? And I was warm and I was loved and I was finished. Complete. I don't understand about theology or dimensions, or any of it, really but I think I was in heaven. And now I'm not. I was torn out of there. Pulled out by my friends. Everything here is hard, and bright, and violent. Everything I feel, everything I touch this is hell. Just getting through the next moment, and the one after that knowing what I've lost... "
29 " I also don't trust Caribou anymore. They're out there, on the tundra, waiting... Something's going down. I'm right about this. "
30 " You can't take the sky from me. "
31 " There's a time and place for everything, and I believe it’s called 'fan fiction'. "
32 " Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by and they CANCELLED MY FRIKKIN' SHOW. I totally shoulda took the road that had all those people on it. Damn. "
33 " Every day's a negotiation and sometimes it's done with guns. "
34 " That girl will rain destruction down on you and your ship. She is an albatross, Captain. Way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it. (to Inara) Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint. "
35 " If the apocalypse comes...beep me! "
36 " The thing about changing the world... Once you do it, the world's all different. "
― Joss Whedon , Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Long Way Home (Season 8, Volume 1)
37 " Shiny, let's be bad guys! "
38 " All worthy work is open to interpretations the author did not intend. Art isn't your pet -- it's your kid. It grows up and talks back to you. "
39 " He's like Super Librarian, y'know? Everyone forgets, Willow, that knowledge is the ultimate weapon. "
40 " I also felt that Ron and Hermione would have gotten divorced. I'm sorry, I just do. The end of Harry Potter did feel ultimately to me...just the fact everybody had married everybody. The books were so real and so grounded in what things are really like when you're that age, she nailed that so beautifully. And then there was this slightly fantastical ending. I know that was there for her to say, 'Really, I mean it, no more books,' but you do sort of go, people who were in a war are different from people who haven't been, and how does it affect them? But am I going to second-guess my favorite writer? I think not. "
