Rufus Quotes

“but until then I promise to be the Mario to your Luigi, except I won't hog the spotlight.”
― Adam Silvera, They Both Die at the End

“I only care about the people who wanna be in my life. Like Rufus. Remember how he was nervous about coming out to us because he didn't wanna stop sharing a room with us since we had so much fun? That's someone who wants to be my life. And I wanna be there for his. However much of it is left.”
― Adam Silvera, They Both Die at the End

“What He really hates is the shit that gets carried out in his name. Wars. Bigotry. Televangelism.

- Rufus, Dogma”
― Kevin Smith, Dogma

“There’s this girl…this woman I can’t get out of my mind.” He spilled the story of his seduction of sweet, innocent Amanda McCormick for Rufus’s examination. When he finished talking, there was another silence.
“You did that?” Rufus’s voice was as deep and gravelly as a quarry.
“Fucked some poor virgin while posing as her fiancé?”
“Yeah.”
“You got some balls. How’d you know you’d be a close enough match to this Baxter?”
“Brown hair, blue eyes, that’s all she seemed to know about him.”
Spence couldn’t explain his need for the rush of tempting fate. “I took a chance. It was a gamble.”
“Jesus, you’re a mean son of a bitch.”
“I didn’t want to hurt her. I was just having fun.” He sounded like a spoiled child even to himself.
“And now you want to go see this woman and try to make it right?”
Rufus said. “Just how the hell did you think you were going to fix it? By
showing up and wrecking her marriage, if you haven’t done that already?”
It was Spence’s turn to pause.
“Haven’t you done enough to this lady? Where’s your head, boy?
Leave her alone.”
“I can’t. I have to see her again.” He didn’t want to share his dreams
of the little girl. He’d sound crazy.
Rufus laughed harshly. “So you can try and get another piece of tail?”
“No. It’s not like that.”
“What? You think you’re in love. Son, you don’t know the first thing
about it. If you did, you’d be putting this woman’s needs above your own.”
He thought of the little girl telling him to go to Amanda. “Maybe what
she needs is me.”
Rufus made a scoffing noise. “A woman needs a man who’ll stand by
her, be there through hard times and good. From what you’ve told me
these past months, this is the longest you’ve stayed put in one place in
your life and that’s only ‘cause they won’t let you out.”
“I just want to do the right thing.”
“Then do like I say. Leave her be. You think she’s going to be happy
to see you again?”
Spence pulled his blanket tighter around his shoulders and watched a gray cloud puff from his mouth.
“You still there, boy?”
“Where else?”
“Don’t take it too hard. Everybody does things they’re sorry for.
Sometimes there’s just no way to make it right.”
He leaned back against the wall and reviewed the stupid chain of events that had landed him in jail. Maybe Rufus was right and there was no way he could ever apologize for what he’d done to Amanda. He should let the whole thing slide and leave the woman in peace.”
― Bonnie Dee, Perfecting Amanda

“i kiss my last friend because the world can't be against us if it brought us together”
― Adam Silvera, They Both Die at the End

“That's just it. It is not one of our men."
Donald's head jerked toward him. "Who then, Rufus?"
"Jacq," he spit out her name like a curse.
"What?" Donald peered through the darkness to the campfire, now glowing dimmer. "You are imagining things, my lord."
"It is she. I'm certain."
"Damnation." Donald echoed Rufus' original curse. His expression however reflected his awe. "Rufus, does your woman even know she is a woman?"
............
"When you tire of her, I'm going to marry her," Donald promised reverently.”
― Delilah Devlin, Jacq's Warlord

“It felt so huge, so significant, to share such an awful part of myself with him - to be so unbalanced, and to know that I could trust him to be my counterweight.”
― Caleb Roehrig

“He will have the throne and he would break it into two to make two seats for two kings to rule.”
― Gauri Sharma, Of Vengeance and Ashes

“He would never lose his only friend and family for something so materialistic. He was even fine if Rufus wanted the whole throne, he would become the seneschal and guide him in times of misery.”
― Gauri Sharma, Of Vengeance and Ashes
