“إن النظام القانوني بمعناه الضيق يخدم نظام ما بعد الشمولية بنفس الطريقة المباشرة. وهو لا يختلف في ذلك عن باقي المجالات الأخرى لعالم "القوانين والمحاذير".
لكنه في الوقت نفسه يشير إلى طريقة هذه الخدمة في بعض مستوياته بدرجات مختلفة من الوضوح. هذه الطريقة التي تُقرّب وظيفته من وظيفة الأيدلوجية على نحو صارخ, إن لم يكن يجعل من النظام جزءاً لا يتجزأ من تلك الأيدلوجية.”

“Experience each moment as if it were the first sensation of its kind ever. Bring childlike interest and curiosity to your present-time experience.”

“In her 2008 paper “Who Joins the Military?: A Look at Race, Class, and Immigration Status” Amy Lutz concluded that “as family income increases, the likelihood of having ever served in the military decreases.” Further, she found “low representation of the children of the very rich” within the armed forces and that “the highest income quartile was significantly less likely to have served than the lowest.” She concludes that “the economic elite are very unlikely to serve in the military” and that the “all-volunteer force continues to see over-representation of the working and middle classes, with fewer incentives for upper class participation.”36 It”

GargantuaBookQuoters 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.
