I will come for you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you.
Abigail - She says this to Mary Warren when she wants to tell the truth about what they were doing in the forest that night (dancing)
But I will cut off my hand before I'll ever reach for you again.
John Proctor - Said to Abigail when they are in Betty's room alone. He tells her he will never be with her again
I have eleven children, twenty six times a grandma, I have seen them through all their silly seasons, and when it come on them they will run the Devil bowlegged keeping up with their mischief.
Rebecca Nurse - Said to Mrs. Putnam when she talks about how Ruth will not wake nor eat.
Last night- mark this- I tried and tried and could not say my prayers. And then she close her book and walks out of the house, and suddenly-mark this-I could pray again!
Giles Corey - Talking about his wife Martha and her book obsession. By stating this, he mistakenly makes her a suspected witch.
She'll kill me for saying that! She'll charge lechery on you, Mr. Proctor!
Mary Warren - Said to Proctor when he tells her he's going to take her to court so she can tell them where the poppet came from and who stuck the needle in it.
And if she tell me, child, it were for harlotry, may god spread his mercy on you!
Judge Danforth - Said to Abigail (if Elizabeth tells him their affair is true, may god have mercy on her)
I say- I say God it dead!
Proctor - Said to Danforth and Parris. He meant that God had no part in the witch trials, but Parris took it as proof of his part with the Devil
I denounce these proceedings - I quit this court!
Reverend Hale - Said when Proctor is put into jail for saying God is dead when they wouldn't listen to an innocent man.
There is news sir, that the court- the court must reckon with. My niece sir, my niece - I believe she has vanished.
Parris - Said to Danforth. Abigail has fled Salem which is a bad sign for the witch trials
You cannot hang this sort! There is danger for me. I dare not step outside at night.
Parris - Said to Danforth after a dagger was thrown at him outside his front door.
You misunderstand sir. I can not pardon these when twelve are already hanged for the same crime. It is not just.
Danforth - To Parris
There is blood on my head! Can you not see, there is blood on my head!
Hale - He tells them he has come back to Salem because he doesn't want to have the blood of innocent people on his hands. He had a part in signing the death warrants. He wants to help the accused by convincing them to confess to save their lives.
I cannot mount the gibbet like a saint. It is a fraud. My honesty is broke Elizabeth, I am no good man.
Proctor - to Elizabeth. He says that confessing and lying about being a witch is a price he's willing to pay to save his life. He has other lies that have been with him long before, so what's another one going to do to him.
It were a cold house I kept
Elizabeth - to John. Saying she didn't show him enough affection and that's why he had an affair with Abigail, somewhat taking the blame
He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him.
Elizabeth - to Hale. John forgave himself for what he's done and didn't give in to confessing to save his pride.
