More quotes by Ann Aguirre

Ann Aguirre
It's only a sure defeat when you stop trying.
Ann Aguirre
I’m sick of asking questions everyone else already knows the answers to.
Ann Aguirre
I’m as forgiving as the wall you hit at two hundred kilometers an hour.
Ann Aguirre
Caring too much could be dangerous I saw that now. But the alternative was no better.
Ann Aguirre
I'm not sick, Deuce. You don't know your own charm. My charm? I hadn't been aware I had any. It must be the dress, I thought.
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

Ann Aguirre

Ann Aguirre
As I dive between the legs of a big Gunnar, I see Mair wind up and slam her shockstick hard as she can between the V of another guy’s thighs. Falling, he makes a noise that I can’t say I’ve heard a human utter before, sort of like I imagine a puppy would sound being put through a juicer.
Ann Aguirre
After people have gone, you forget their faults, and you recall the ideal more than the person.
Ann Aguirre
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.
Ann Aguirre
For I need this scar over my heart to remind me. Crazy as it sounds, if I can bear the wound on my body, it lessens what I must carry on my soul. How he knew that about me, I cannot fathom.
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
Because it takes more courage to heal the world's hurts than to inflict them.
Ann Aguirre
A curve of silver hung amid the brighter specks it looked to me like a curved dagger, pretty but deadly, as if it might slice the sky in two.
Ann Aguirre
A divided heart offers a strange sensation.
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
Sometimes broken things heal crooked. The pieces didn’t fit anymore.
