| Witchery's a hangin' error, a hangin' like they done in Boston two year ago! We must tell the truth...you'll only be whipped for dancin' and the other things! | Mary Warren |
| My name is good in the village! I will not have it said that my name is soiled! | Abigail Williams |
| I may think of you softly from time to time. But I will cut off my hand before I'll ever reach for you again. | John Proctor |
| Oh yes, sir, I don't desire to hurt little children. | Tituba |
| Here is all the invisible world, caught, defined, and calculated. In these books the Devil stands stripped of all his brute disguises. | Hale |
| I saved her life today! | Mary Warren |
| Man, remember, until an hour before the Devil fell, god thought him beautiful in Heaven. | Hale |
| Spare me! You forget nothin' and forgive nothin'. | John Proctor |
| If it were not Abigail that you must go to hurt, wold you falter now? I think not. | Elizabeth Proctor |
| I had my doubts, but here's calamity. You see it sir, it is a needle! | Cheever |
| Mr. Parris, I have taken your part in all contention here, and I would continue; but I cannot if you hold back in this. | Putnam |
| Have you tried beatin' her? I gave Ruth a good one and it waked her for a minute. | Mercy Lewis |
| Oh, I marvel how such a strong man may let such a sickly wife be-- | Abigail Williams |
| Let either of you breath 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. | Abigail Williams |
| No more! I should have roared you down when first you told me your suspicion. But I wilted, and like a Christian, I confessed. | John Proctor |
| We must all love each other now, Goody Proctor. | Mary Warren |
| I cannot think the Devil may own a woman's soul, when she keeps an upright way, as I have. I am a good woman, I know it; and if you believe I may do only good work in the world, and yet be secretly bound to Satan, then I must tell you sir, I do not believe it. | Elizabeth Proctor |
| Excellency, you surely cannot think to let so vile a lie be spread in open court! | Parris |
| I think it be my duty, sir--you'll not deny it, John. When we come to take his wife, he damned the court and ripped your warrant. | Cheever |
| I have until this moment not the slightest reason to suspect that the children may be deceiving me. | Danforth |
| I gave them all my word that no harm would come to them for signing this. | Francis Nurse |
| I am never put-upon; I know my rights, sir, and I will have them. | Giles Corey |
| I will not give you no name. I mentioned my wife's name once and I'll burn in hell long enough for that. I stand mute. | Giles Corey |
| Excellency, I have signed 72 death warrants; I am a minister of the Lord, and I dare not take a life without there be a proof so immaculate no slightest qualm of conscience may doubt it. | Hale |
| There might also be a dragon with five legs in my house, but no one has ever seen it. | John Proctor |
| It were only sport in the beginning, sir, but then the whole world cried spirits, spirits, and I -- I promise you, Mr. Danforth, I only thought I saw them but I did not. | Mary Warren |
| Think you to be so mighty that the power of Hell may not turn your wits? Beware of it! | Abigail Williams |
| How do you call Heaven! Whore! Whore! | John Proctor |
| There are them that cannot sing, and them that cannot weep--my wife cannot lie. I have paid much to learn it, sir. | John Proctor |
| Excellency, it is a natural lie to tell; I beg you, stop now before another is condemned! | Hale |
| You're the Devil's man! | Mary Warren |
| God damns our kind especially, and we will burn, we will burn together! | John Proctor |
| I denounce these proceedings, I quit this court! | Hale |
| Take me home, Devil! Take me home! | Tituba |
| There be so many cows wanderin' the highroads, now their masters are in the jails, and much disagreement who they will belong to now. | Cheever |
| Mr. Parris, you are a brainless man! | Danforth |
| ...these people have great weight yet in the town. Let Rebecca stand upon the gibbet and send up some righteous prayer, and I fear she'll wake a vengeance on you. | Parris |
| There is blood on my head! Can you not see the blood on my head! | Hale |
| Are you stone? I tell you true, woman, had I no other proof of your unnatural life, your dry eyes now would be sufficient evidence that you delivered up your soul to Hell! | Danforth |
| I cannot mount the gibbet like a siant. It is a fraud. I am not that man. | John Proctor |
| Only be sure of this, for I know it now: Whatever you will do, it is a good man does it. | Elizabeth Proctor |
| Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! | John Proctor |
| Hang them high over the town! Who weeps for these, weeps for corruption! | Danforth |
| He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him! | Elizabeth Proctor |
| You have made your magic now, for now I do think I see some shred of goodness in John Proctor. | John Proctor |
