“إن الذنب بالمعنى المألوف دينيا ودنيويا لا يفهم إلا في إطار البناء الشمولي للمجتمع وهو بناء ينتمي للنموذج التملكي لوجودنا, حيث مركزنا الإنساني لا يوجد في داخلنا, ولكنه موجود في السلطة التي نخضع لها, وحيث نحقق الرفاهية من خلال نشاطنا الذاتي الخلاق, ولكن بالطاعة السلبية للسلطة, ومن ثم استحسانها لما نفعل, ونحن نملك قائدا دنيويا او روحيا, ملكا او ملكة او راعي كنيسة ونملك ايمانا به, ومن ثم نملك الأمن والأمان طالما نحن لا شيء, اي لا كيان مستقل لنا, قد لا نكون واعيين بخضوعنا للسلطة إلى هذا الحد وقد تكون السلطة في مظهرها صارمة أو قد تكون رقيقة, وقد لا يكون البناء الاجتماعي مكتمل الشمولية.. ولكن كل هذا يجب ألا يجعلنا غافلين عن حقيقة أننا نعيش في النمط التملكي إلى الدرجة التي صار البناء الشمولي لمجتمعنا جزءا من ذاتنا واصبح مبدأ داخليا هاديا لمشاعرنا وسلوكنا.
ونحن نتفق مع الفونس أوير حين يؤكد بوضوح أن رؤية توما الأكويني للسلطة وعدم الطاعة والخطيئة هي رؤية تتفق تماما مع النزعة الانسانية, حيث يذهب إلى أن الخروج على سلطة غير عقلانية ليس ذنبا أو إثما, وإنما الإثم يكون في انتهاك الحياة الانسانية الكريمة.
"لا يمكن أن نسيء إلى الرب إلا إذا كانت أفعالنا انتهاكا لحياتنا وكرامتنا نحن".”
― Erich Fromm, quote from To Have or to Be? The Nature of the Psyche

“Thoughts are real', he said. 'Words are real. Everything human is real, and sometimes we know things before they happen, even if we aren't aware of it. We live in the present, but the future is inside us at every moment. Maybe that's what writing is all about, Sid. Not recording events from the past, but making things happen in the future'.”
― Paul Auster, quote from Oracle Night

“All choices are illusions, or if they are not illusions their strength is illusory, for one choice must contend with the choices of all the other men and women deciding anything in that moment.”
― Kevin Powers, quote from The Yellow Birds

“Do you think we're getting back together?"
"Getting? No," Mace answered then continued,
"Back together? Yes”
― Kristen Ashley, quote from Rock Chick Reckoning

“I won't lie to you, Josie. So becareful what you ask.”
― Maya Banks, quote from Burn

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.
