“Fear again. If you want to control someone, all you have to do is to make them feel afraid.”
― Paulo Coelho, quote from The Devil and Miss Prym
“Él inclino su cabeza y habló suavemente —: Quiero estar contigo en estos malos momentos. Quiero llevarte a casa conmigo y tenderte en mi cama y tener horas y horas tu cuerpo envuelto en el mío y hacerte todo lo que o quiera. Quiero tenerte ahí en la mañana, así cuando despertemos puedo hacerte venir diciendo mi nombre. Quiero manejar hasta tu trabajo y recogerte cuando termines tu turno. Quiero ir a las tiendas contigo y comprar comida que podamos cocinar para la cena. Quiero ver un programa tonto de televisión y tenerte cayendo dormida en mi pecho, así podría verte y oír tu respiración.”
― Raine Miller, quote from Naked
“Now that's a concept that's always fascinated me: the real world. Only a very specific subset of people use the term, have you noticed? To me, it seems self-evident that everyone lives in the real world - we all breathe real oxygen, eat real food, the earth under our feet feels equally solid to all of us. But clearly these people have a far more tightly circumscribed definition of reality, one that I find deeply mysterious, and an almost pathologically intense need to bring others into line with that definition.”
― Tana French, quote from The Likeness
“When I was young, a child never asked questions of his elders," Claire Deverill said.
"Was that before or after the First World War?" Matt asked.”

The Secret of NagasBookQuoters 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.
