More quotes by Ann Aguirre
I so enjoy it when people assume I'm stupid. Not that, just very focused on killing.
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
Yet sometimes being a friend meant letting people do things that hurt, like putting distance between you, just because it made them happy.
Ann Aguirre
Not just when its easy. All the time.
Ann Aguirre
After people have gone, you forget their faults, and you recall the ideal more than the person.
Ann Aguirre
I never knew I had the power to hurt him, only that he possessed the power to hurt me.
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
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
If I ever win you, he said, anger bright in his pale eyes, it will be because you want me more. Not because he's gone. I'm nobody's second best.
Ann Aguirre
It’s easy to do right when everything goes right. But let everything go wrong, and see how difficult it becomes.
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.
Ann Aguirre
I think people can be trusted to know what makes them unhappy. Maybe we don't always know what we want exactly, but we can usually say what we don't with a fair amount of specificity.
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
For I need this scar over my heart to remind me. Crazy as it sounds, if I can bear the wound on my body, it lessens what I must carry on my soul. How he knew that about me, I cannot fathom.
Ann Aguirre
A huntress never stabbed anything she didn't want to.
Ann Aguirre
He would bear scars because of me, as I carried them for him.
Ann Aguirre
Caring too much could be dangerous I saw that now. But the alternative was no better.
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
Sometimes I miss the old me.
Ann Aguirre
You could miss someone, but it did no good to fixate on loss. I wished I had the ready words of a Breeder or the ability to comfort with a soft touch. I didn't. Instead I had daggers and determination. That would have to do.
Ann Aguirre
