More quotes by Ann Aguirre
A huntress never stabbed anything she didn't want to.
Ann Aguirre
I couldn't help what I'd done before I learned it was wrong. I could only do better in the future.
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
He's never going to sit at my feet and write me poems, which is good because I hate poetry, except dirty ones that rhyme.
Ann Aguirre
Beautiful. And ugly. The world is always both.
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

Ann Aguirre
This is not a love story. It is my life, and as such, there is love, loss, war, death, and sacrifice. It's about things that needed to be done and choices made. I regret nothing.
Ann Aguirre
But courage wasn't an absence of fear it was fighting despite the knot in your stomach.
Ann Aguirre

Ann Aguirre
I found it curious that people kept animals for companionship and not food. When I'd asked Mama Oaks when she planned to cook the fat creature that slept in a basket in the kitchen, her eyes almost popped out of her head. Since then, she'd kept her pet away from me, like she suspected I meant to turn it into stew. Clearly, I had a lot to learn.
Ann Aguirre
Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth for the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there are three lives before you: His life, Her Life, and Your life together.
Ann Aguirre
There are quiet ways to die where the body just doesn’t notice that the heart is gone.
Ann Aguirre
Every army has a beginning, no matter how humble.
Ann Aguirre
My body was a machine, plain and simple. I worked it to stay strong I fed it to keep it running.
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
. . . and I don’t expect him to suborn his life into mine any more than I would change my dreams for him. We’re not one soul, one being, however much we love each other.
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 good huntress respected her partners instincts, even if he was socially ignorant.
