“You don’t owe me forever right now, but God, I hope you’ll give it to me willingly some day.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“I whisper every word she needs to hear and I need to say. I tell her how beautiful she is. I tell her she amazes me. I make sure she knows she is the most precious person in the world to me. I make sure she understands what losing her means to me and how impossible it is to imagine my life without her.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“I want him to reach out to me, but I know he can't. He can't for all the same reasons I can't. It hurts too much. It's like an alcoholic taking a sip of wine; the pleasure of the indulgence would be immediate and swift, but the aftermath would be devastating.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“She told me once that when she was with me she felt like the beautiful woman she never thought she'd be. I can't imagine what could ever make her think she wasn't beautiful enough to anyone, least of all me. She's the beautiful one. The most beautiful one in the world to me.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“There is no denying I’m once again complete in her presence. This is my place. I belong to her and my place is by her side. And the absoluteness of that statement is profound, and it begs to rewrite my life.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“I just… can’t be apart from you.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“You deserve a man who will take you and keep you, not a man who will have you and leave you. I can’t be the man who does that to you.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“She’s beautiful—broken and battered, still the most beautiful woman in the world to me—the only woman in the world for me.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“Is the bed comfortable?” Please say no. Just give me any reason to get you in my bed.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“But every night I end up fighting my despair the second I lay my head on my pillow. It is then I miss her the most -- when my brain stops moving for the day and the memories of her are allowed to flood my mind, causing agonizing grief.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“I wanted nothing more than for her to feel me – my desire for her, the pleasure I could give her, my obsession for her.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“Be happy and well and forget me fast.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“I don’t care if nobody else thinks I’m beautiful, because in this moment, I know Logan does. Eat your heart out Amy’s of the world…”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“Thought about sleeping in my bed, but decided I'd rather be in yours. Hope you don't mind...Have a great week."
"So long as you leave your pajamas in your own room. They have no place in mine. Sleep tight.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“I blush as that word pops into my mind again, "relationship." Is this what a relationship feels like, I wonder -- close, comfortable, warm, safe, thrilling, erotic, and smelling deliciously of pancakes...”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“I've made love to her -- finally and wholly, I've had her in every way I've wanted and needed. And I want more. I want to own her, and the idea she will someday share this with someone other than me is hard to swallow.”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper
“She’s not ready for forever… even if I am. And I am. I would seal my future with her for the rest of my life if I could. My need for her is that strong. Or is it my love for her that is so strong?”
― Elizabeth Finn, quote from Brother's Keeper

Our Inner Ape: A Lea...BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
