Witch Trials Quotes

• Y recuerden esto. Dejad que cualquiera de vosotros diga una palabra, o el borde de una palabra, sobre las otras cosas, y vendré a vosotros en la oscuridad de alguna noche terrible y os traeré un punzante ajuste de cuentas que os estremecerá. Y sabéis que puedo hacerlo.

• In his play depicting the Salem Witch Trials, the author illustrates profound psychological bullying. The ringleader of young girls suspected of unsavory conduct, frightens her friends into silence by warning: Now, look you; All of you. We danced. And Tituba conjured Ruth Putnam's dead sisters, and that was all. ... Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night, and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you.

• Incluso los mejores de nosotros tenemos ciertos mecanismos psicológicos que pueden activarse de repente y convertirnos en monstruos. Para mí, ése es el mensaje básico de acontecimientos como el auge del nazismo, los juicios por brujería de Salem, etc.: no es que la gente mala haga cosas malas, sino que la gente buena hace cosas malas. Es angustiosamente fácil que esos mecanismos se activen, ya sea conscientemente por demagogos, o ingenuamente por personas que creen que están tratando de hacer lo correcto. Por eso creo que es más parecido al tres en raya.

• With its brutal excesses and reliance on snitches and finks as informants, I don't think it's far off-kilter to describe the modern-day drug war as oddly similar to the Salem witch trials.

• I always say that no matter what the torture is, or the tool is, first of all it's nothing worse than what's been done already and that wasn't done by the church and the state for over a period of 250 years during the European witch trials.

• Without really analyzing it, I grew up in Massachusetts, so the Salem witch trials were always something that I was around. The average kindergartner probably doesn't know about it, except that in Massachusetts, you do, because they'll take you on field trips to see reenactments and stuff.
