Quote by Reese Ryan

“I want something more with you, Tessa, because we're good together. We always have been. The sex is only a small component of what makes us fit so well together. I would think that our twenty plus years of friendship should be evidence enough of that.”

“I've asked you so many Golub words over the years." She looked up at him. Her eyes glistened. "But what's the Golub word for 'love'?" "Love," he repeated. "Th-there's more than one word for love. There's friendship love---silan. Gratitude love---baya. Nostalgic love---ruman. There's... there are forty words for love." "What if, hypothetically, you feel all those ways about someone?" "Hypothetically?" "No." She held his gaze. "Actually not hypothetically at all." Looking into her eyes, Raf found himself unable to speak. "I... I started working on that mural randomly.

Tilted Tales, where they sat for hours on end reading comics. The entire street was there, but it was both of these locations that shone with a sheen of glitter. He took it all in. "It's us," he said slowly. "You painted our places. Our favorite memories." "I love you, Raf." Her voice quivered. "Silan---the friendship one. Baya, the gratitude one. Ruman. Nostalgia for what we were. All of it. I love you in all the ways I know.”

“How about your compassion toward somebody full of hatred? If you are so full of loving friendliness, shouldn't you help that person?" But for all of us who are not enlightended, we must honestly and mindfully assess how much we could help. Our capacity is limited. As an unenlightened person, you have your own limitations. When you hit the edge of your limitation, you yourself may get very nervous, very tense, uptight and rigid. Eventually, you may be very much like that angry person.”
