More quotes by Ann Aguirre
For love to flourish there has to be trust. Promises don’t matter as much as personal choice.
Ann Aguirre
Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth for the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there are three lives before you: His life, Her Life, and Your life together.
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
Love sounded terrible if it made you so weak, you couldn't survive with out it.
Ann Aguirre
There are quiet ways to die where the body just doesn’t notice that the heart is gone.
Ann Aguirre
My body was a machine, plain and simple. I worked it to stay strong I fed it to keep it running.
Ann Aguirre
We’re bound by chains of love, but they don’t weigh us down. Instead, they allow us to be bigger and better than we are.
Ann Aguirre
My heart shifted a little in my chest it seemed to swell and beat against my bones until I couldn't hear.
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
We find heroes, not on battlefields, but in hospitals that tend the injured. Sometimes I think it’s easier to fight than it is to heal.
Ann Aguirre
Men always want to be remembered whereas women realize that requires being dead.
Ann Aguirre
Show, not tell, right? Action, not words. You don’t want to hear how sorry I am or how things will be different this time. You want to see it with your own eyes. And until I can show you that, you won’t tell me what I want to hear.
Ann Aguirre
I think people can be trusted to know what makes them unhappy. Maybe we don't always know what we want exactly, but we can usually say what we don't with a fair amount of specificity.
Ann Aguirre
They say funerals are not for the dead but for the living. Those rites are what permit you to move on, so if you don't deal with the remains, you can never deal with the memories. That might be true we may have walked in their dust down on Venice Minor, but it's not the same as a proper good-bye.
Ann Aguirre
In the enclave, the strong and the physically perfect survived, but if you were strong, you protected the weak until they had an opportunity to grow into their own power.
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
Right now, I wish I’d stayed because I want you at my side. That sounds pretty selfish, but I don’t mean it that way. You just never needed me that way I said it to you once as I was leaving—that you love me, but you don’t need me. You don’t lean. But I admire that about you, and I could use some of your strength right now.
Ann Aguirre
People grew lazy. They knew too many blessings, and so lost the ability to appreciate what they had
Ann Aguirre
Sometimes the past needed to stay buried it was the only way you could move on. And sometimes you had to dig it up, because that too was the only way.
Ann Aguirre
He'd said the sun could burn me. It certainly looked angry enough, all orange and glowing mad.
Ann Aguirre
