My memory is very vague, can't bring up the who said it at all, but I'm thinking late Victorian maybe?
Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
It sounds late Victorian.
Google didn't find me much yet, but it DID find me this amazing essay on the notion at hand when applied to Blade Runner: [link]
Wow.
That's... yes. That!

Thank you Bartletts! It's from Edgar Allan Poe: "The death ... of a beautiful woman, is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world."

Hey! I was just about to post that I found that!
Also, that I feel I have lost mass goth points for only having the vague, "Eh? Sounds familiar..." response.

The body-count by sex came up before ages back... I only remember because like most things, it led me to make a spreadsheet. I wonder if I can dig up the conversation.

Thrive to spite them
I think Spike's overall arc would have worked better if after he had gotten the soul, he made a choice to go back to being evil.
I so longed for Spike to go back to being evil by choice. It would have been more interesting, I think, to have that explored -- given a soul and the ability to hurt people he went back to killing. I really got bored with Buffy defending Spike with "he has a soul", which she seemed to forget that Warren had a soul and it didn't stop him from doing bad.
Plus it might have made Buffy a bit more interesting, her only reference to a vampire with a soul is Angel and so I see where her default is that souled vampire =good, but then to have Spike like killing and go back to it might have really thrown her.
I also wish Anya hadn't died I really liked her and wanted her to make it through.

Yes, exactly. Plus, "he has a soul" was exactly like the "but he's changed!" that gets uttered about abusive partners. I really wanted the ME writers to do something interesting with that cliché, instead of play it straight.
(Why yes, this is a conversation Plei and I have had a lot.)
