“I hadn't yet come to terms with the man my father was, or the lives he'd destroyed. But I accepted that he was part of me, and that he'd loved me once.”
― Elle Cosimano, quote from Nearly Gone
“Are you going to give me a reason to stay?”

“Vince sneered at me with bloody teeth and dropped the twenties at my feet as security herded him through the crowd. I didn't pick them up. A shoulder bumped against me, and I looked up into Reece's expressionless face as security marched him past.
He didn't even look at me, his words cold enough to burn.
"I hope you're worth it.”
― Elle Cosimano, quote from Nearly Gone
“Sometimes, the only way to find a solution is to break the rules.”
― Elle Cosimano, quote from Nearly Gone
“Vince and TJ have been best friends as long as we have. It's not like they're going to let one stupid kiss come between them. Maybe it didn't mean anything. Maybe it was just a one-time thing. A mistake.”
― Elle Cosimano, quote from Nearly Gone
“The worlds were empty. Hollow. As though he'd heard them so many times they'd lost their meaning.”
― Elle Cosimano, quote from Nearly Gone
“I watched him fall into a dark corner of himself and I resisted the urge to touch him, not wanting to feel the depth of emotion I saw on his face.”
― Elle Cosimano, quote from Nearly Gone
“Just because it's complicated, doesn't mean there isn't a solution.”
― Elle Cosimano, quote from Nearly Gone
“Why'd you do it, anyway?' He wore a self-deprecating look, hands stuffed in his pockets while he kicked at the gravel.
'Do what?'
'Why waste your time saving someone who can't be fixed?'
I folded my arms over my chest, tucking my hands under them as I backed away, wishing I could kiss him without caring how he felt. 'Maybe you're not the only one who's broken.”
― Elle Cosimano, quote from Nearly Gone
“I reached for her, held my hand out in the space between us. She looked at it, and then to me. And then she placed her hand in mine. I shut my eyes and felt all the love that had always been there, that I had never let myself feel before. All thos things I'd thought my father had taken with him when he left. Everything I needed was here, inside her. 'I'm sorry,' I said, letting my own tears fall, 'if I made you feel like you weren't good enough.”
― Elle Cosimano, quote from Nearly Gone
“You don't need to explain. I know who you are.'
'Do you? Because that would make one of us.”
― Elle Cosimano, quote from Nearly Gone

HeavenBookQuoters 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.
