"Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead."
--David Boreanaz as Angel in the episode "Passion" of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer

“I love you, †Buttercup said, “I know this must come as something of a surprise, since all I’ve ever done is scorn you and degrade you and taunt you, but I have loved you for several hours not, and every second, more. I thought an hour ago that I loved you more than any women has ever loved a man, but half an hour after that I knew that what I felt before was nothing compared to what I felt then. But ten minutes after that, I understood that my previous love was a puddle compared to the high seas before a storm. Your eyes are like that, did you know? Well, there are. How many minutes ago was I? Twenty? Had I brought my feelings up to then? It doesn’t matter.†Buttercup still could not look at him. The sun was rising behind her now; she could feel the heat on her back, and it have her courage. “I love you so much more now than twenty minutes ago that there can be no comparison. I love you so much more now than when you opened your hovel door, there cannot be a comparison. There is no room in my body for anything but you. My arms love you. My ears adore you, my knees shake with blind affection. Do you want me to follow for the rest of your days? I will do that...â€
