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.

More quotes by 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
I couldn't help what I'd done before I learned it was wrong. I could only do better in the future.
Ann Aguirre
I admired Stalkers style. He was incredibly fast using two small blades strapped to the backs of his hands. Slash slash slash. Fighting him you wouldn’t die of one great wound but instead bleed out slowly surprised to find yourself weak and dying after a thousand cuts.
Ann Aguirre
A huntress never stabbed anything she didn't want to.
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
How can you miss someone who’s right beside you?
Ann Aguirre
The whole world is like Whitewall's razors I burst out. It cuts us, and we bleed but there's no purpose to it.
Ann Aguirre
He is not the same person as when we met, but . . . neither am I. Time has refined us, but instead of pushing us apart, we’re closer than ever.
Ann Aguirre
Dying isn’t like living it requires no effort at all.
Ann Aguirre
I know you have bad news,” I say softly. “I’m ready for it.” But that’s not true. One is never ready. You just lie and say you are and hope you can take the hit on the chin without going down.
Ann Aguirre
I don’t like anyone knowing anything about me that I didn’t choose to tell them.
Ann Aguirre
I shake my head, but I can’t change this. I can only bear the scars, as I have always done, as I ever do.
Ann Aguirre
What was the good of having such a fine home if you weren't willing to fight for it?
Ann Aguirre
Now I know there are ways to belong to someone that don’t take anything away. A relationship shouldn’t impose limits—and if it does, then it’s wrong. A lover should help you exceed your potential, not clip your wings.
Ann Aguirre
Here in the enclave, one didn't prosper by demonstrating too much independent thought.
Ann Aguirre
I never belonged anywhere until I met you.
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
I imagine the ones we’ve lost as ghosts who prowl about the edges of the light, waiting for us to join them. Sometimes that’s terrifying, and sometimes it’s reassuring, a promise of homecoming.
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
Once exposed, a secret loses all its power.
