“He (Spike) probably fell in love with Buffy when he first saw her, but didn't admit it to himself because he was already in love with Dru…”

“He fell in love with himself at first sight and it is a passion to which he has always remained faithful.”

“The first boy I fell in love with didn't know I loved him, but he managed to break my heart anyway.”

"Love Me Back”

“He did not consider if or how or why he loved them. They were just love: they were the first evidence he ever had of love, and they would be the last confirmation of love when everything else fell away.”

“[Spike] is a sadist and he is never happier than when he is hurting people or killing people, but he is truly, sincerely, deeply in love with Drusilla.”

“That he would love her no matter what she told him, and that he was the kind of man who loved her already and would love her forever.”

“He loved her beyond all reason and didn't expect her to love him back. He was just waiting for her to wise up.”

“Literature was the only religion her father practiced, when a book fell on the floor he kissed it, when he was done with a book he tried to give it away to someone who would love it.”

“For the first time, he looked at her, and she wasn’t a stranger, she was Clary—his friend. His family. The girl he’d sworn always to protect. The girl he loved as fiercely as he loved himself.”
