“فى عام 1484 أصدر البابا أنوسنت الثالث مرسوماً ضد السحر وعين اثنين من المحققين فى محاكم التفتيش لمعاقبة ممارسته. وفى عام 1489 نشر هذان المحققان باللاتينية كتاباً ثقة تحت عنوان "مطرقة النساء الشهيرات" وذهب الرجلان فى كتابهما إلى أن ممارسة السحر أقرب إلى طبيعة النساء منها إلى طبيعة الرجال نظراً لما للنساء من قلوب مليئة بالشر الكامن فيها. وكانت أكثر التهم ضد الساحرات شيوعاً آنذاك أنهن يتسببن فى سوء الأحوال الجوية.”
― Bertrand Russell, quote from Religion and Science
“Is kidnapping kidnappers still kidnapping?" Miles mused. "Yes," said Roic, unhelpfully. "Not that NewEgypt is likely to bring charges." "Naw, they'd do something else." "I am reminded. I could have Suze freeze and store them for us, I suppose. Technically." Roic gave him the Look. "If push came to shove. As a Kibou-daini problem-solving technique, there seems to be precedent." Roic said nothing, firmly.”

"That will never happen!" Kiss.

The Body in the Libr...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.
