More quotes by Ann Aguirre
He was the heat of a fire and the sweetness of the moon I'd only just met.
Ann Aguirre
Then in the interest of full honesty, I really wish you'd kiss me right now.
Ann Aguirre
Possessiveness isn’t love. I’m not even sure it qualifies as an emotion.
Ann Aguirre
There were different kinds of strength. I knew that now. It didn't always come from a knife or a willingness to fight. Sometimes it came from endurance, where the well ran deep and quiet. Sometimes it came from compassion and forgiveness.
Ann Aguirre
We stood back-to-back, blocking and striking in harmony sometimes it felt like his arms and legs were an extension of me. I could count on him to keep them off me from behind.
Ann Aguirre
Before he bent his head, I knew what he was going to do. Touch his lips to mine. Oh, and I wanted him to... I stilled, hardly daring to breathe. The old refrain of cant and shouldn't sank beneath the weight of new worlds like please and yes.
Ann Aguirre
Maybe I was just one of those people who couldn't rest easy unless things went catastrophically wrong.
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
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
There’s a reason I hate jigsaw puzzles. I don’t have the patience to find all the border pieces, especially when they’re all the same shade of gray.
Ann Aguirre
Through the damp fabric of my coverall, bundled in my blanket, I feel naked. Raw. He sees more than I want, more than I can bear. It’s like standing before him ... while he stares at my scars, pitiless and unmoved.
Ann Aguirre
For peace to take hold, one person must first stop fighting.
Ann Aguirre
He'd said the sun could burn me. It certainly looked angry enough, all orange and glowing mad.
Ann Aguirre
I never knew I had the power to hurt him, only that he possessed the power to hurt me.
Ann Aguirre
He's earned a lifetime of peace and happiness, but some people never get what they deserve. That's why there are saints in gutters and sadists in palaces.
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
Men always want to be remembered whereas women realize that requires being dead.
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
It's only a sure defeat when you stop trying.
Ann Aguirre
But I miss the woman I was, even as I learn to accept the new creature I’ve become.
Ann Aguirre
