Promise you'll fight like you never have, so when the dying stops, you'll be on your feet looking for me here. I swear.

Ann Aguirre
I know just how he feels that it’s come to this. Sometimes, love isn’t enough, even when it’s all you have.
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
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
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
Men can be very stupid. We cease to value what we have until it's gone, and only then do we realize the gold we glimpsed in distant hills pales as dross compared to treasure we had in hand.
Ann Aguirre
I never knew I had the power to hurt him, only that he possessed the power to hurt me.
Ann Aguirre
My heart should be breaking, too, but there comes a point when you’re so inured to loss that you no longer feel the lash.
Ann Aguirre
Nobility and self-sacrifice sound wonderful in theory, but now he’s seen how it feels. A dead hero is still dead at the end of the day, and you’re still alone.
