Quote by Aden Polydoros

“...I was beginning to realize that what drew me to scary movies in the first place was how predictable they were... But that wasn't how it worked in the real world. Sometimes, there were no survivors. Sometimes, the villains won. And the true monsters didn't wear masks. They could be friendly. The could smile at you and seem like someone you could trust.”

“… Looking at her, I think I know better what romantic love is.” … she asked, “What is it?” “It is parental love,” he answered thoughtfully. “Wanting to protect and keep the other person safe.

And it is lust,” he said, meeting her eyes, and was rewarded with seeing them darken, her breath becoming slightly unsteady, one little word jerking her out of her clinical assessment. He smiled, a predatory, seductive grin. “The physical needing of the other person, the quickened pulse, the sweaty heat.” His hand, which still rested on hers, began slowly moving, his fingers dancing over her skin. “Combining them makes the result greater than its individual parts. Because it produces something else. It creates … a steadiness. A strength. I can’t explain it well - being only an outside observer - but I only know that out of my friends' relationships, my sister‘s marriage is the epitome of grace.”
