More quotes by Ann Aguirre
My skill didn't lie in planning battles, only in fighting them.
Ann Aguirre
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
I never knew I had the power to hurt him, only that he possessed the power to hurt me.
Ann Aguirre
But the world moves on, even when you don't want it to, even when change feels like the end of everything. It never stops.
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
Every army has a beginning, no matter how humble.
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
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
Here in the enclave, one didn't prosper by demonstrating too much independent thought.
Ann Aguirre
If so, I couldn't imagine how the opposite gender managed to get out of bed in the morning. They might be lovely to look at, but clear thinking wasn't their strong point.
Ann Aguirre
No matter how interminable something feels, there is always, always an ending. Sometimes that's good, and sometimes it's bad sometimes it's a matter of indifference, and sometimes it's heartbreaking, and your life is never the same thereafter.
Ann Aguirre
Possessiveness isn’t love. I’m not even sure it qualifies as an emotion.
Ann Aguirre
Did he die well? No, I thought. Nobody did. They just died.
Ann Aguirre
Sometimes I miss the old me.
Ann Aguirre
I so enjoy it when people assume I'm stupid. Not that, just very focused on killing.
Ann Aguirre
Caring too much could be dangerous I saw that now. But the alternative was no better.
Ann Aguirre
Now I know there are ways to belong to someone that don’t take anything away. A relationship shouldn’t impose limits—and if it does, then it’s wrong. A lover should help you exceed your potential, not clip your wings.
Ann Aguirre
Don't worry he tells me tenderly. It doesn't matter who you've been, who you are, or who you become. I'm with you every step of the way.
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
I felt like the blonde in every horror movie who hears a noise in the basement and goes to investigate alone. Sometimes you smell the stupid all around you, but you step in it anyway.
