More quotes by Ann Aguirre

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
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
We're broken in complementary ways, thus rendering our damage comprehensible to each other.
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 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
A good huntress respected her partners instincts, even if he was socially ignorant.
Ann Aguirre
I wanted proof, not promises.
Ann Aguirre
I think my head's a minefield strewn with triggers, and maybe if I survive each explosion, what emerges from the wreckage will be me, really, truly me.
Ann Aguirre
I never knew I had the power to hurt him, only that he possessed the power to hurt me.
