"There are some things I can just smell. It's like a 6th sense."
"Well, actually, that would be one of the five."
— Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Script Book, Season Two, Volume 4)

"I find it most remarkable that we who are so intimately involved in the battle between good and evil are even more involved with the shades of gray in between them."
— Christopher Golden (Sons of Entropy)

"Smell is the most powerful trigger to the memory there is. A certain flower or a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten. Books smell musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer is… it has no texture, no context. It’s there, and then it’s gone. If it’s to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible. It should be…smelly."
— Buffy the Vampire Slayer
