More quotes by 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
I’ve lost so many people. Some I left on purpose and never looked back. Some were taken from me, and I never said good-bye.
Ann Aguirre
More than most, I know the pain of surviving.
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.

Show, not tell, right? Action, not words. You don’t want to hear how sorry I am or how things will be different this time. You want to see it with your own eyes. And until I can show you that, you won’t tell me what I want to hear.
Ann Aguirre

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
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
I wanted proof, not promises.
Ann Aguirre
Maybe I was just one of those people who couldn't rest easy unless things went catastrophically wrong.

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
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.
