His face held a certain impassivity you see it in all waiters and valets. They might want to jam a knife through your left eye socket, but you'd never know it from their expression. Working retail, I've acquired a similar look myself.

More quotes by Ann Aguirre
No matter how interminable something feels, there is always, always an ending. Sometimes that's good, and sometimes it's bad sometimes it's a matter of indifference, and sometimes it's heartbreaking, and your life is never the same thereafter.
Ann Aguirre
Most people weren’t aware enough to fear the things that could really hurt them.
Ann Aguirre
Maybe I was just one of those people who couldn't rest easy unless things went catastrophically wrong.
Ann Aguirre
I’ve lost so many people. Some I left on purpose and never looked back. Some were taken from me, and I never said good-bye.
Ann Aguirre
Just . . . love me, and let tomorrow look after itself.
Ann Aguirre
Is that love? It seems like a pale word, too easily tossed about by people who don’t know the meaning of it, who twist it for their own ends. I’m afraid of it now, right up there with clowns, close spaces, and open flames.
Ann Aguirre
I know just how he feels that it’s come to this. Sometimes, love isn’t enough, even when it’s all you have.
Ann Aguirre
You ever have that feeling? Like you’ve known someone your whole life but you don’t know them at all.
Ann Aguirre
Possessiveness isn’t love. I’m not even sure it qualifies as an emotion.
Ann Aguirre
My heart raced. He needs you, I thought. Don't let him down. I couldn't remember ever being so happy... or so scared.
Ann Aguirre
I felt like the blonde in every horror movie who hears a noise in the basement and goes to investigate alone. Sometimes you smell the stupid all around you, but you step in it anyway.
Ann Aguirre
Sometimes it felt as if all happiness came at a price. You could never, ever, have perfection. Life gave you beauty so you could bear the pain.
Ann Aguirre
Beyond, the unknown lay before us once more, and another impossible task. The four of us emerged from the earth and turned our steps west, toward the last hope for Salvation.
Ann Aguirre
Like most, I was a mix of good and bad, anger and protectiveness, kindness and pride. But right now, I had only strangled fear and the promise of revenge.
Ann Aguirre
I found it curious that people kept animals for companionship and not food. When I'd asked Mama Oaks when she planned to cook the fat creature that slept in a basket in the kitchen, her eyes almost popped out of her head. Since then, she'd kept her pet away from me, like she suspected I meant to turn it into stew. Clearly, I had a lot to learn.
Ann Aguirre
Men can be very stupid. We cease to value what we have until it's gone, and only then do we realize the gold we glimpsed in distant hills pales as dross compared to treasure we had in hand.
Ann Aguirre
After people have gone, you forget their faults, and you recall the ideal more than the person.
Ann Aguirre
With my partner beside me, I fear nothing, not even death.
Ann Aguirre
If you don't tell me what's on your mind, I can't guess
Ann Aguirre
More than most, I know the pain of surviving.
