Joss Whedon

"You're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater."

"As we all know, blinking lights means science."

"Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE."

"Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."

"Why anybody gets my sense of humor I never know, but I do know that when they do, I keep them as close as I possibly can."

"I never write anything without humor, just because I like humor, but at the same time, it is a way for anything fantastical to become relatable."

"I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of."

"War is not just the business of death, it is the antitheses of life."

"Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don't forget food. You can go a week without laughing."

"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."

"Don’t give people what they want, give them what they need."

"Recognizing power in another does not diminish your own."

"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."

"Two things that matter to me. Emotional resonance and rocket launchers."

"You either have to write or you shouldn't be writing. That's all."

"Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."

"There’s a fine line between support and stalking and let’s all stay on the right side of that."

"If you're going to make a science fiction movie, then have a hover craft chase, for God's sake."

"Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE."

"I've got a theory, it could be bunnies...I've got a theor-Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposesThey've got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses.And what's with all the carrots-?What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?Bunnies, bunnies it must be bunnies!...or maybe midgets..."
