― Jason Segel, quote from Nightmares!

― Jason Segel, quote from Nightmares!


“Do you know why people think nightmares aren’t real?” Charlie was too confused to answer. Something had changed. This nightmare was different from the rest. The witch had never spoken to him like this before. “Because most people wake up,” the witch continued. “Their spirits come here when they sleep and their bodies stay safe and sound in your world until morning.” She leaned in closer. “But you know what I’ve figured out? I’ve figured out how to bring your body here to the Netherworld too.”
― Jason Segel, quote from Nightmares!


“Mi sa che ti hanno mentito,
se ti hanno detto che gli incubi non sono veri.”
― Jason Segel, quote from Nightmares!


“Se fossi in te, non prenderei in giro gli incubi degli altri senza aver dormito una notte nel loro pigiama.”
― Jason Segel, quote from Nightmares!



“Dabney is convinced that the Dream Realm exists. That’s why he’s such a thorn in the president’s side. Dabney says our job isn’t to keep humans scared. Our job is to help humans face their fears. And if we do our jobs well, we deserve to retire. The Dream Realm is our reward.”
― Jason Segel, quote from Nightmares!


“As soon as Jack had squeezed around the boxes and out the door, Charlie pulled the covers back up to his chin and thought about what the witch had said. I’ve never seen anyone as scared as you, Charlie Laird. Was it true?”
― Jason Segel, quote from Nightmares!


“The plan, my fellow nightmares, is simple. One—find the boy. Two—keep the portal open. Three—conquer the Waking World. Four—try a Krispy Kreme doughnut. Five—never die.”
― Jason Segel, quote from Nightmares!


“La paura è come il catrame,
si appiccica dappertutto e divora ogni cosa.”

“E' così che cresce la paura.
Se la tieni chiusa dentro senza farla mai uscire comincia a divorarti vivo.”
― Jason Segel, quote from Nightmares!



“Non importa di cosa hai paura, importa il perché ne hai paura.
Gli incubi sono le paure della gente camuffate.”
― Jason Segel, quote from Nightmares!


“Solo i deboli hanno bisogno di far sentire piccoli gli altri.”
― Jason Segel, quote from Nightmares!

“For once the disease of reading has laid upon the system it weakens so that it falls an easy prey to that other scourge which dwells in the ink pot and festers in the quill. The wretch takes to writing. ”
― Virginia Woolf, quote from Orlando


“La unión de dos almas sinceras
no admite impedimentos.
No es amor el amor
que se transforma con el cambio,
o se aleja con la distancia.
¡Oh, no! Es un faro siempre firme,
que desafía a las tempestades sin estremecerse.
Es la estrella para el navio a la deriva,
de valor incalculable, aunque se mída su altura.
No es amor bufón del tiempo, aunque los rosados labios y
mejillas caigan bajo el golpe de su guadaña.
El amor no se altera con sus breves horas y semanas,
sino que se afianza incluso hasta en el borde del abismo.
Sí estoy equivocado y se demuestra,
yo nunca nada escribí, y nadie jamás amó.”
― William Shakespeare, quote from Shakespeare's Sonnets


“Hell has three hates: lust, anger and greed.”
― Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, quote from The Bhagavad Gita


“It was hard to have a good crisis when real life kept asking to be lived.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Dead and Gone


“I've missed you so much."
Daniel chuckled. "I've missed you, too, these past...three hours. Are-are you all right?"
Luce ran her fingers through Daniel's silky blond hair. "I just needed to get some air,to find you." She squeezed hi tightly.
Daniel narrowed his eyes. "I don't think we should be out here,Lys. They must be expecting you back in the receiving room."
"I don't care.I won't go back in there. And I would never marry that pig. I will never marry anyone but you."
"Shhh." Daniel winced,stroking her cheek. "Someone might hear you. They've cut off heads for less than that.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Passion

About BookQuoters

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.
