The Crucible

• "I look for John Proctor that took me from my sleep and put knowledge in my heart! I never knew what pretense Salem was, I never knew the lying lessons I was taught by all these Christian women and their covenanted men! And now you bid me tear the light out of my eyes? I will not, I cannot! You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet!"- Abigail Williams
• "I saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!" -Abigail Williams
• You must understand, sir, that a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it, there be no road between." -Danforth
• "A man may think God sleeps, but God sees everything, I know it now. I beg you, sir, I beg you—see her what she is. . . . She thinks to dance with me on my wife’s grave! And well she might, for I thought of her softly. God help me, I lusted, and there is a promise in such sweat. But it is a whore’s vengeance. . . ."- John Proctor
• "Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!"- John Proctor
• "Life, woman, life is God's most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it.” - Hale
• “We are what we always were in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law!” - John Proctor
• "We burn a hot fire here; it melts down all concealment."- Danforth
• "in an open threat: Let you beware, Mr. Danforth. Think you to be so mighty that the power of Hell may not turn your wits? Beware of it!" - Abigail Williams
• "in a temper: My name is good in the village! I will not have it said my name is soiled! Goody Proctor is a gossiping liar!" - Abigail Williams
