And I'm just supposed to help you out of the evilness of my heart?

Spike (Season 4) ~ Buffy the Vampire Slayer

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, its blood -- blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Spike (Season 3) ~ Buffy the Vampire Slayer

She wouldn't even kill me. She just left. She didn't even care enough to cut off my head, or set me on fire. I mean, is that too much to ask? You know? Some little sign that she cared? It was the truce with Buffy that did it. Dru said I'd gone soft - wasn't demon enough for the likes of her.

Spike (Season 3) ~ Buffy the Vampire Slayer

We like to talk big, vampires do. "I'm going to destroy the world." That's just tough-guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I LIKE this world. You've got...dog racing, Manchester United. And you've got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's alright here. But then someone comes along with a vision. With a real passion for destruction. Angel could pull it off. Good-bye, Picadilly. Farewell, Leicester-bloody-Square.

Growing on Me

I can't get rid of you
I don't know what to do
I don't even know who is growing on who
'Cause everywhere I go you're there
Can't get you out of my hair
Can't pretend that I don't care - it's not fair

I'm being punished for all my offenses
I wanna touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences
I wanna banish from whence you came
But you're part of me now
And I've only got myself to blame

You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see

Sleeping in an empty bed
Can't get you off my head
I won't have a life until you're dead
Yeah you heard what I said

I wanna shake you off but you just won't go
And you're all over me but I don't want anyone to know
That you're attached to me, that's how you've grown
Won't you leave me, leave me, leave me alone

You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see

I wanna shake you off but you just won't go
And you're all over me but I don't want anyone to know
That you're attached to me, that's how you've grown
Wont you leave me, leave me, leave me alone

You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see

You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me

Needles & Pins

I saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face I loved and I knew
I had to run away and get down
on my knees and pray
That they'd go away
But still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

Hey, I thought I was smart, I broke her heart
Didn't think I'd do, but now I see
She's worse to him than me
Let her go ahead, take his love instead
And one day she will see
Just how to say please
And get down on her knees
Yeah, that's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins
a-hurtin her, a-hurtin her

Why can't I stop and tell myself
I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up
and tell myself I'm strong.

Because I saw her today,
I saw her face
It was the face I loved and I knew
I had to run away and get down
on my knees and pray
That they'd go away
But still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Ah, needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins

~The Searchers

A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind, and never to allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquility.
I do not think that the pursuit of knowledge is an exception to this rule.
If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, that is to say, not befitting the human mind.
If this rule were always observed; if no man allowed any pursuit whatsoever to interfere with the tranquillity of his domestic affections, Greece had not been enslaved; Caesar would have spared his country; America would have been discovered more gradually; and the empires of Mexico and Peru had not been destroyed.

Frankenstein ~ Mary Shelley

I will not lead you on, unguarded and ardent as I then was, to your destruction and infallible misery. Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at least by my example, how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge, and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow.

Victor Frankenstein, Frankenstein ~ Mary Shelley

The ancient teachers of this science, promised impossibilities, and performed nothing. The modern masters promise very little; they know that metals cannot be transmuted, and that the elixir of life is a chimera. But these philosophers, whose hands seem only made to dabble in dirt, and their eyes to pore over the microscope or crucible, have indeed performed miracles. They penetrate into the recesses of nature, and show how she works in her hiding places. They ascend into the heavens: they have discovered how the blood circulates, and the nature of the air we breathe. They have acquired new and almost unlimited powers; they can command the thunders of heaven, mimic the earthquake, and even mock the invisible world with its own shadows.

Mr. Waldmen, Frankenstein ~ Mary Shelley

I was required to exchange chimeras of boundless grandeur for realities of little worth.

Victor Frankenstein, Frankenstein ~ Mary Shelley

I was easily led by the sympathy which he evinced to use the language of my heart; to give utterance to the burning ardour of my soul; and to say, with all the fervour that warmed me, how gladly I would sacrifice my fortune, my existence, my every hope, to the furtherance of my enterprise. One man's life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of the knowledge which I sought; for the dominion I should acquire and transmit over the elemental foes of our race. As I spoke, a dark gloom spread over my listener's countenance. At first I perceived that he tried to suppress his emotion; he placed his hands before his eyes; and my voice quivered and failed me, as I beheld tears trickle fast from between his fingers--a groan burst from his heaving breast. I paused;--at length he spoke, in broken accents:-- "Unhappy man! Do you share my madness? Have you drank also of the intoxicating draught? Hear me--let me reveal my tale, and you will dash the cup from your lips!"

Frankenstein ~ Mary Shelley

Success shall crown my endeavors. Wherefore not?
Thus far I have gone, tracing a secure way over the pathless seas:
the very stars themselves being witnesses and testimonies of my triumph.
Why not still proceed over the united yet obedient element?
What can stop the determined heart and resolved will of man?

Robert Walton, Frankenstein ~ Mary Shelley

Almost Lover

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swayin in the wind, images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes, clever trick

Well I'd never wanna see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye my almost lover, goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm tryin not to think about you, can't you just let me be
So long my luckless romance, my back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache, almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me, images
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never never forget these images

Well I'd never wanna see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye my almost lover, goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm tryin not to think about you, can't you just let me be
So long my luckless romance, my back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache, almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean, I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the mornin without you on my mind
But so you're gone and I'm haunted and I'll bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye my almost lover, goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm tryin not to think about you, can't you just let me be
So long my luckless romance, my back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache, almost lovers always do
