Been thinking . . .

It's a painful process but what the hell, right? I was thinking about what I respond to so fiercely in Firefly. Of course, there's lots of things- Amazing dialogue, so clever and funny and grim the day doesn't feel complete until you've worked a piece of it into conversation and of course characters who weaknesses are almost more endearing than their strengths. But that can't be it, can it? And then I found this quote (I love quotes. I collect them. I am a word whore.) -
"I know that every good and excelllent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for -- whether it's a field, or a home, or a country."
-Thornton Wilder

And that's what I love, the fierce, impossible beauty of the fight.
