"No man is so near to him as you. You tread behind his every footstep. You are beside him, sleeping and waking. You search his thoughts. You burrow and rankle in his heart! Your clutch is on his life, and you cause him to die daily a living death; and still he knows you not." (Hawthorne 167)

"I, whose footsteps, as you suppose, leave a gleam along my earthly track, whereby the pilgrims that shall come after me may be guided to the regions of the blest--I who have laid the hand of baptism upon your children--I, who have breathed the parting prayer over your dying friends, to whom the Amen sounded faintly from a world which they had quitted-- I, your pastor, whom you so reverence and trust, am utterly a pollution and a lie!" (Hawthorne 140)

"Ask yonder old man whom thou hast been talking with! It may be he can tell. But in good earnest now, Mother dear, what does this scarlet letter mean?-- and why dost thou wear it on thy bosom?-- and why does the minister keep his hand over his heart?"( Hawthorne 175)

"I had spent the better part of the night at the bedside of the worshipful Governor Winthrop, doing what my poor skill might to go him ease. He going home to a better world, I, likewise, was on my way homeward, when this strange light shone out. Come with me, I beseech you Reverend Sir; else you will be poorly able to do Sabbath duty tomorrow. Aha! see now, how they trouble the brain-- these books!-- these books! You should study less, good Sir, and take a little pastime; or these night-whimseys will grow upon you." (Hawthorne 154)

"Hester Prynne there hath been much question concerning thee, of late. The point hath weightily discussed, whether we, that are of authority and influence, do well discharge our consciences by trusting an immortal soul, such as there is in yonder child, to guidance of one who hath stumbled and fallen amid the pitfalls of this world. Speak thou, the child's own mother!" (Hawthorne 106)
