Buffy icons

[butterfly]

Characters: Anya, Buffy, Dawn, potentials, Spike, Willow, Wood, Xander.

I now have over 50 icons of Buffy (the actual ass-kicker. I have over 250 of the show, not counting song sets, which easily up it to a few hundred.)

Want. Ask. Have. The modified Faith motto.

Dorothy Thompson:
Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Bernadette Devlin:
Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win.

Barbara De Angelis:
Love is a choice you make from moment to moment.

Elaine Maxwell:
My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.

Erich Fromm:
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.

Gilda Radner:
Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

Elizabeth Barret Browning:
Whoso loves, believes the impossible.

Norman Lindsay:
The best love affairs are those we never had.

Alexander Dumas:
All human wisdom is summed up in two words - wait and hope.

Laurel Thatcher Ulrich:
Well behaved women rarely make history.

Margaret Bonnano:
It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day to day basis.

William Allen White:
I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.

Albert Einstein:
In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.

Buckminster Fuller:
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.

Maya Lin:
To fly, we have to have resistance.

William Shakespeare:
We know what we are, but know not what we may be.

Anaïs Nin:
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

James Thurber:
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.

Victor Hugo:
An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.

A. Powell Davies:
Life is just a chance to grow a soul.

Margaret Mead:
Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Eleanor Roosevelt:
You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.

Marianne Williamson, quoted by Nelson Mandela:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

William Blake:
Life delights in life.

Virginia Woolf:
The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

Confucius:
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Some of the quotes and pictures were incredibly easy to match up. "The best love affairs..." couldn't have been anything but Buffy/Xander, "Our deepest fear..." just screamed Willow. Others were harder to fit. Every time, I started with the picture and then found the right quote. I just noticed that only three of the icons are just guys, which works fine, because, though we adore our men deeply, the theme of the episode really did focus more on empowering women. I tried to find a quote for each important woman. My favorite (after the B/X one), is probably the girl at bat.

"yesterday i dared to struggle.."

"love is a choice we make.."

and "the best love affairs.."

do you happen to have an icon of buffy lying down, looking up, after she'd been stabbed? i'm not really sure what you'd write on it though:-s it was such a touching moment, though there were many in that episode:(

Can I take/share "..What we might be" and "...Idea whose time has come"? Thanks!

Could I snag the Willow "Our deepest fear", Anya "Only when we are no longer afraid" and Dawn "Well Behaved Women" for future sharing? I'll credit. Your icons are amazing.

I love icons. I love Buffy icons. If you check my userpics, you'll see all ten of them are Buffy-related. Some of them I made, some others made (you'll see in my bio I've credited the ones that are not by me).

Kickass job!

Mind if I take?

I am not afraid of tomorrow...
All human wisdom...
We dont see things as they are...

These are all so great. :)

I nabbed 'You must do that which you think you cannot do'

Could I possibly have the base picture from that? I'm utterly in love with that whole scene, and want to have it's babies. If you would be so kind....

May I have the Faith: It is only possible to live happily ever after...

Great Job, sweetie, I love the quotes especially.

Wow, your icons are beautiful! :) I'm not taking any but I just thought I'd let you know that I like them.

Do you happen to have any non-Buffy quote icons?

[quackypenguin.livejournal.com]

awesome! i love the quotes. mind if i take a few? ahh, i wish i could have more than 3 pictures on my account. :D

[brooding-soul.livejournal.com]

Oh! Vi! I want Vi!

[longersleeves.livejournal.com]

May I have the first Xander one ("the beauty of the world...")? Also, is there any chance you could make one of Amanda, either fighting as a Slayer or after she died? I was thinking maybe with that "There is nothing in a caterpillar..." quote but if you can think of another quote that would fit, that'd be awesome. Thank you so, so much, and beautiful job on these!

can i have "who so loves" and "life is just a chance" ?? they all rock!

Didn't see a taken tag on them...

[nematoddity.livejournal.com]

...didn't find anything in the comments, but still--I would like either the Wood "Life delights in life" icon or the Sunnydale "small group of thoughtful concerned citizens" icon. Whichever one isn't taken.

Top of my head just blew off. Inspirational quotes. Damn, I wish I had Photoshop! :)

Sharing the Faith "It is only possible..." since the other person said it was ok.
