Quotes by Malcolm Gaskill (?)

“The worst of it was that there was no easy way to act against witches, or escape them. It didn't matter how detested Hugh and Mary had become: there they were, following the same routines, persistently present - not predators to be trapped or Indians to be shot at, or even homicidal colonists who could be dragged into court. They were ordinary neighbours, difficult to shun in a social world of mutual dependence.”
― Malcolm Gaskill, The Ruin of All Witches: Life and Death in the New World

“Dreams extended a real world danger into an imaginary one.”

“Only by taking the strange on its own terms can we understand ourselves in time. This is the purpose of history, which my doctoral supervisor was taught then passed on to me. It remains the name of the game.”
― Malcolm Gaskill, The Ruin of All Witches: Life and Death in the New World
