“Don't get trapped into thinking people are halves instead of wholes.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“The idea that two is the ideal, and that one is only good as half of two. You are not a half, and you should never treat someone else like a half.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“Fade to black. Or whatever color you like. If you can find a way to fade to pink or purple, please do.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“This should be the most homoerotically charged baseball dance number since “I Don't Dance” in High School Musical 2.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“It’s always easy to blame other people for holding you back. But sometimes, the only person holding you back is . . . well . . . you.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“This is the dangerous thing about musicals. Most of them assume that as soon as you find your voice, you'll use it to sing to someone else.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“We all think we are actors, given our scripts. But really? You’re the playwright. You’re the composer.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story

― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story

but it's the beginning of your art.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“LYNDA (TO TINY):
Look forward to the moment
when it falls apart.
Look forward to the
moment
when you must
rearrange your
heart.
It might feel like the
end of the world-
but it's the
beginning of your
art.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“But none of that really mattered. I had found my tribe. It felt like a family reunion for the family I'd never really known, a homecoming at the place where I was always meant to be but hadn't known how to find.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“LYNDA: Don’t get trapped into thinking people are halves instead of wholes.
TINY: People are halves?
LYNDA: They’re not trying to sell you on it yet, but believe me, they will. The idea that two is the ideal, and that one is only good as half of two. You are not a half, and you should never treat someone else like a half. Agreed?
TINY: Agreed!”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“He counts as an ex because he made me feel dumped even without making me feel loved first.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“No, Tiny. Words. Passion. The danger of falling in love is you mistakenly believe the loved one is the only source of passion in your life. But there is passion everywhere. In music. In words. In the stories you tell and the stories you see. Find passion everywhere, and share it widely. Don't narrow it down to one thin line.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“But none of that really mattered. I had found my tribe. It felt like a family reunion for the family I'd never really known, a homecoming at the place where I was always meant to be nut hadn't known how to find.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“Maybe there is something you’re afraid to say, or someone you’re afraid to love, or somewhere you’re afraid to go. It’s gonna hurt. It’s gonna hurt because it matters.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“The thing about a spotlight is that you have to step into it. You have to get onto that stage.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“But no relationship should rely on you blocking out the world. The world will always get in.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“Don’t get trapped into thinking people are halves instead of wholes. TINY: People are halves? LYNDA: They’re not trying to sell you on it yet, but believe me, they will. The idea that two is the ideal, and that one is only good as half of two. You are not a half, and you should never treat someone else like a half. Agreed?”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“Please tell me this pity party ends early. Or at least serves cake.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“More than anything else, we want to fit into our own families.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“you've gotta learn to love the falling, because it's all about falling.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story

Not Tiny Cooper.
He comes into the world singing.”

“This is Tiny’s number, but everybody’s going to be looking at the boys in uniform. This should be the most homoerotically charged baseball dance number since “I Don’t Dance” in High School Musical 2.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“I wanted my spring awakening, even if it was coming a season late.
I wanted summer lovin’ that would happen so fast.
I wanted to succeed at the business of love without really trying.”
― David Levithan, quote from Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story
“When people say love is blind, they act like that’s a good thing. But some people find their way around in the darkness a little better than others.”

“The Scots (originally Irish, but by now Scotch) were at this time inhabiting Ireland, having driven the Irish (Picts) out of Scotland; while the Picts (originally Scots) were now Irish (living in brackets) and vice versa. It is essential to keep these distinctions clearly in mind (and verce visa).”

“She can't explain why she is choked up. She isn't entirely sure, other than the sweetness of Patrick's familiarity, an aching nostalgia for her youth, a reminder of all that is good, and solid, and stable. All that she once had. All that she has lost. Patrick has grown into a big man. Solid. Imposing. His embrace is all-enveloping, tight, stable. Like being held by a bear.
Safe, she thinks.
I am safe.
And almost immediately after: I have come home.”
― Jane Green, quote from Saving Grace

The Contortionist's...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.
