― Kim Stanley Robinson, quote from Red Mars
“التحرر من" ليس متطابقا مع الحرية الايجابية, "الحرية لـ " ان بزوغ الانسان من الطبيعة هو عملية طويلة مستخلصة, انه الى حد كبير يظل مقيدا بالعالم الذي منه ظهر, انه يظل جزءا من الطبيعة - التربة التي يعيش عليها, الشمس والقمر والنجوم, الشجر والازهار, الحيوانات, ومجموع الناس الذين يرتبط معهم بروابط الدم.
والادباء البدائية شاهد على شعور الانسان بتوحده مع الطبيعة. فالطبيعة الحية وغير الحية جزء من عالمه الانساني, او كما يمكن للانسان ان يضع الامر, انه لا يزال جزءا من العالم الطبيعي.
هذه الروابط الاولية تسد الطريق امام تطوره الانساني الكامل, انها تقف في طريق تطوير عقله وقدراته النقدية, انها لا تدعه يعرف نفسه والآخرين الا من خلال وسيط مشاركته او مشاركتهم في قبيلة او جماعة اجتماعية او دينية لا كبشر, بقول آخر, انها تقف عقبة في طريق تطوره كفرد حر محدد لذاته منتج. ولكن بالرغم من هذا الجانب, هناك جانب آخر. هذا التوحد مع الطبيعة والقبيلة والدين يعطي الفرد امانا. انه يمت الى, انه مغروس في كل مبنى يكون فيه مكان لا جدال فيه. انه قد يعاني من الجوع او القهر, لكنه لا يعاني من اسوأ الآلام, الوحدة الكاملة والشك الكامل.”

The Dark SecretBookQuoters 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.
