What's Your Favorite Buffy Quote?

[eilowyn]

I'm working on my 30 Days of Awesome Ladies meme (I'm determined to have it two-thirds done before I begin posting because I am determined not to drop out half way through. If I have it all done before hand, I don't have to stress over it!), and I need a good Buffy quote. What's something Buffy says that gets you in the gut every time you hear it?

No, it doesn't stop. It never stops. Do-do you think I chose to be like this? Do you have any idea how lonely it is? How dangerous? I would love to be upstairs watching TV or gossiping about boys or, god, even studying! But I have to save the world. Again.

Buffy to Joyce always gets me.

"I may be dead, but I'm still pretty." (Prophecy Girl)

"You can attack me, you can send assassins after me, that's fine. But nobody messes with my boyfriend!" (WML)

"Hey Ken, you wanna see my impression of Gandhi?" (Anne)

Walsh: We thought you were a myth.
Buffy: Well, you were mythtaken. (A New Man) (This one always makes me laugh. ALWAYS.)

"How do you like my darkness now?" (BvsD)

"Whistle while you work/so hard/ all day/ to be like other girls/ to fit in in this glittering world." (OMWF)

"I'm the thing that monsters have nightmares about." (Showtime)

"Are you ready to be strong?" (Chosen)

Anything from OMWF gets me.

That mythtaken one is just perfection. It made me laugh just reading it.

Buffy: "You guys didn't come all the way from England to determine whether I was good enough to be let back in. You came to beg me to let you back in. To give your jobs, your lives, some semblance of meaning."
Nigel: "This is beyond insolence-" (Buffy hurls the sword at him, which he must jump aside to avoid.)
Buffy: "I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions."
Buffy: "You're Watchers. Without a Slayer... you're pretty much just watching Masterpiece Theater. You can't stop Glory. You can't do anything with the information you have, except maybe publish it in the Everyone Thinks We're Insanos Home Journal. (Checkpoint)

I just mini-squee'd while reading that.

This one rocks my world!

"I killed Angel to save the world. I loved him so much. But I knew what was right. I don't have that anymore. I don't understand. I don't know how to live in this world if these are the choices. If everything just gets stripped away. I don't see the point."

OK that's not an uplifting quote, but it is one that demonstrates her humanity - her capacity to feel that the hardest thing in the world is to live in it.

[eilowyn]

Well, I'm looking for quotes that display her humanity, but I'm not particularly fond of those that profess her love for Angel so bluntly. Girl, gotta stop limiting yourself with your high school boyfriend!

[ever_neutral]

lol. You can always disregard the Angel love part!

[rahirah]

"Me."

[eilowyn]

Seconded.
