That’s my problem. I save the world, some girls dies. Every time.
Buffy: I-I-I have a few questions, about being the Slayer. What about… love? Not just boyfriend love.
Primitive: You think you’re losing your ability to love.
Buffy: I-I didn’t say that… yeah.
Primitive: You’re afraid that being the Slayer means losing your humanity.
Buffy: Does it?
Primitive: You are full of love. You love with all your soul. It’s brighter than the fire… blinding. That’s why you pull away from it.
Buffy: I’m full of love? I’m not losing it?
Primitive: Only if you reject it. Love is pain, and the Slayer forges strength from pain. Love, give, forgive. Risk the pain. It is your nature. Love will bring you to your gift.
5.18 - “Intervention”
Clem: Hey, you. Buffy: Hey. Clem: Can you believe this mishegaas? Buffy: Yeah. You’d think these people had never seen an apocalypse before. What about you? Just going for a quick spin to 7-Eleven… in Nebraska? Clem: It’s getting bad here. Really bad. Hellmouth acting up again, people feeling it, getting crazier. You can’t swing a cat without hitting some kind of demonic activity. Not that I swing cats, or eat—nope. Heh. Cuttin’ way back. Cholesterol—morals. I mean, morals. Buffy: Right. Clem: We’ve seen some bad stuff in this town before but, you know, this time, it’s like it just seems different, more powerful. I don’t think anyone’s gonna be able to stop it. I mean, I’m sure you’ll do fine. Complete confidence in you. Heh. Uh, if anyone can do it, you can, because you…rock! If you save the world, I’ll come back, we’ll have drinks. When. When, I mean. When you save the world. It’s gonna be great with all the… rocking. Maybe… maybe you should just get out of town this time. Buffy: Yeah. I probably should. Clem: You take care of yourself, OK? Bye.
Spike: I’ll tell you a story about a mother and son. See, like you, I loved my mother. So much so I turned her into a vampire… so we could be together forever. She said some nasty bits to me after I did that. Been weighing on me for quite some time. But you helped me figure something out. You see, unlike you, I had a mother who loved me back. When I sired her, I set loose a demon, and it tore into me, but it was the demon talking, not her. I realize that now. My mother loved me with all her heart. I was her world.
7.17 - “Lies my Parents Told Me”
Buffy: See? Dust, just like the rest of ‘em. I don’t know what’s coming next. But I do know it’s gonna be just like this; hard, painful. But in the end it’s gonna be us. If we all do our parts, believe it, we’ll be the ones left standing. Here endeth the lesson.
7.11 - “Showtime”
Anya: I don’t talk to people much. I mean, I talk to them, but they don’t talk to me, except to say that, “your questions are irksome,” and, “perhaps you should take your furs and your literal interpretations to the other side of the river”.
7.05 - “Selfless”

You’ll get along
The pain that you feel
You only can heal
By living.
