More quotes by Ann Aguirre

Ann Aguirre

Ann Aguirre
Caring too much could be dangerous I saw that now. But the alternative was no better.
Ann Aguirre
My skill didn't lie in planning battles, only in fighting them.
Ann Aguirre
People grew lazy. They knew too many blessings, and so lost the ability to appreciate what they had
Ann Aguirre
Life…never gave me a chance to be soft.
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
Love can make us do dreadful things.
Ann Aguirre
Each love is unique. Special. Giving to one never takes away from another.
Ann Aguirre
We're broken in complementary ways, thus rendering our damage comprehensible to each other.
Ann Aguirre
He would bear scars because of me, as I carried them for him.
Ann Aguirre
I wanted proof, not promises.
