Again - not a comprehensive list. Many more will also be useful- DEPENDING ON THE ESSAY QUESTION. NB: some quotes are not 'better' than others - it all depends on the context! 
ALSO do not forget the flip side of the very first handout I gave you ('A note on the historical accuracy of the play') - many useful Proctor quotes there.
All Proctor unless otherwise stated:
1) "...ah you're wicked yet, aren't y'!"
2) '...I will cut off my hand before I'll ever reach for you again."
3) 'We vote by name in this society, not be acreage."
4) "I may speak my heart I think."
5) "I mean to please you Elizabeth."
6) "You ought to bring some flowers into the house...It's winter in here yet."
7) "As though I come into a court when i come into this house."
8)"I do not judge you. The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you."
9) "Were I stone I would have cracked for shame this seven month."
10) "I will fall like an ocean on that court! Fear nothing Elizabeth!"
11) "I - I cannot faint now sir." MARY WARREN
12) "Let you beware, Mr Danforth. Think you be so mighty that the power of hell may not turn your wits?"
13) "How do you call heaven! Whore! Whore!"
14) "[Trembling, his life collapsing around him] I have known her, sir. I have known her."
15) "God help me, I lusted, and there is a promise in such sweat."
16) "I have made a bell of my honour! I have rung the doom of my good name!"
17) "In her life, sir, she have never lied."
18) "My husband is a good and righteous man." ELIZABETH PROCTOR
19) "I believe him!...This girl has always struck me false!" HALE
20) "Mary, God damns all liars!"
21) "You're the Devil's man!"
22) "I say God is dead!"
23) "For them quail to bring men out of ignorance, as I have quailed, and as you quail now when you know in all your black hearts that this be fraud - God damns our kind especially, and we will burn, we will burn together!"
24) "I cannot mount the gibbet like a saint. It is a fraud. I am not that man...Nothing's spoiled by giving them this lie that were not rotten long before."
25) "John, it come to naught that I should forgive you, if you'll not forgive yourself. It is not my soul, John, it is yours." ELIZABETH PROCTOR
26) "I have sind of my own to count. It takes a cold wife to prompt lechery." ELIZABETH PROCTOR
27) "Forgive me, forgive me me John - I never knew such goodness in the world!" ELIZABETH PROCTOR
28) "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!"
29) You have made your magic now, for now I do think I see some shred of goodness in John Proctor."
30) "He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!" ELIZABETH PROCTOR
