More quotes by Ann Aguirre
Beautiful. And ugly. The world is always both.
Ann Aguirre
Time is fluid, so the moments where everything feels perfect pass in a wink, and those where you're on your knees in despair drag on like the death of a thousand cuts.
Ann Aguirre
Perhaps that was the point life, if you did it right, meant learning and changing. If you didn't, you died- or stopped growing - which amounted to more or less the same thing. So I would slide in and out of different roles until I discovered the one that fit me best. -Deuce, (183)
Ann Aguirre
He would bear scars because of me, as I carried them for him.
Ann Aguirre
Once exposed, a secret loses all its power.
Ann Aguirre
Men always want to be remembered whereas women realize that requires being dead.
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
Did he die well? No, I thought. Nobody did. They just died.
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
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
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’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
Each time Stalker called you 'dove', I wanted to hit him. Because you're not a little gray bird... you're all the light in the world.
Ann Aguirre
He went in, lean and deadly, and ended the creature with a lightning-fast spike of his blade. It shrieked, likely altering the rest. The death call carried like a mournful song.
Ann Aguirre
This is the way we win over our enemies, not with bigger weapons, or faster ships, but with human courage, ingenuity, and sacrifice. Don't lose hope. We've faced the darkness before-it has nothing new to teach us. As we go about our lives, let us remember the example Dr. Navarro set for us. At the right time, anyone can be a hero.
Ann Aguirre
Sometimes I miss the old me.
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
While sight may deceive you, touch rarely does.
Ann Aguirre
A divided heart offers a strange sensation.
Ann Aguirre
Possessiveness isn’t love. I’m not even sure it qualifies as an emotion.
