“Dreams extended a real world danger into an imaginary one.”
Malcolm Gaskill, The Ruin of All Witches: Life and Death in the New World

“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

“Pynchon may have been gullible about witches, but his belief that divinity resided in everyone was truly humanist.[”
Malcolm Gaskill, The Ruin of All Witches: Life and Death in the New World
