There have got to be some...I know there must be. But none of them work as well as "Where Wallace at, Stringer?"
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The things that get me are big, damn heroics.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
In 5th grade one of my classmate's mom came to read to us every week. She read Where the Red Fern Grows. EVERYONE in the class room was crying. Even the guys, struggling so hard to be dudes, couldn't stop the tears.
I sob every time i watch The Last Unicorn. When i was little, it was when all the Unicorns come pouring in at the end. As an adult watching with my sister, it was over Maggie's misery and the "why do you come to me now, when i am THIS?!?" And at the end. Ok, not a book, but still. Oceans of tears.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The things that get me are big, damn heroics.
Yeah, I rarely cry over character deaths; I am more apt to cry at beautiful, selfless gestures. Like the Class Protector Award.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yes, noble gestures do it for me every time. In Glory, when Shaw tells the soldiers they are not being treated fairly and are free to go and they are all there the next morning. And when they are marching to the battle and the racist guys yells out "Give 'em hell, 54!" and the other men take it up. Oh, the waterworks.

Oh, word. The scene in the book I mentioned that gets me going is Big Damn Heroic, True Love Denied AND Granted (all at once) and...oh, god.
Yeah. Death, be not proud and all that, but give me a Stepping Up to Certain Death to Flip The Bird to Evil, and do with with a grin and grace? Despite the cost, despite having much in this world to cling to? And an author who isn't afraid to let that death be final and the cost be real?
Hell to the yeah.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"Personally, I kinda want to kill the dragon."
totally not a book, but...

I am a sucker for:
- But you won't have enough fuel to get back.
- Someone will have to set it off manually.
- Run. I'll hold them off.
- "It is a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I sob over Sgt. Bothari.
What was the line? I can't remember it. "I need my Bothari"?
I generally don't cry while reading, although I'm a complete sap with visuals.
This is me. The Sweet, Far Thing was unusual in getting me to sob until I had to lie down. I'm pretty sure I also cried during Deathly Hallows when Harry was heading off to fight Voldemort and the Marauders showed up.

Oooh, I know this one! "Is that it? Are we done?"
