These people drift through life truly innocent, unable to see into themselves at all. The perfection of innocence, indeed, is madness.

Additional quotes by Arthur Miller
MAGGIE, in pain: That’s what I mean; I’m a joke to most people.
QUENTIN: No, it’s that you say what you mean, Maggie. You don’t seem to be upholding anything, you’re not — ashamed of what you are.
MAGGIE: W-what do you mean, of what I am?
… But you didn’t, did you?
He turns to her in agony.
Laugh at me?
QUENTIN: No. He suddenly stands and cries out to Listener. Fraud! From the first five minutes! …Because! I should have agreed she was a joke, a beautiful piece, trying to take herself seriously! Why did I lie to her, play this cheap benefactor, this — Listens, and now unwillingly he turns back to her.

I look for John Proctor that took me from my sleep and put knowledge in my heart! I never knew what pretence 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!
