• Rufus Quint : He dead?

  Preacher Quint : No, he ain't dead. Leave him be.

  Rufus Quint : Leave him? Pa . . .

  Preacher Quint : Leave him be. Out here, by hisself, no goods, winter coming on. He's gonna be a long while dying. And all that time, he's gonna know who done it to him. Yes, sir, a mighty long time, and then he'll be dead.

• [Preacher forces Catherine to take up with one of his sons] 

  Catherine Allen : I need some time. It's a very hard choice to make.

  Preacher Quint : Of course it's hard. I'll give you two days. That's fair, two days. Now, pick over all the fine points. Rafe there is smarter but he's meaner, and Rufe there, he's stronger but he's dumber. If the good Lord had seen fit to put them both together, they would have made a perfect man.

• Preacher Quint : I knew'd a fellow once, his wagon team got away with him and run a wheel spoke right through his middle. Bled hisself out, right there. Don't you know how easy it was? It was like taking a little sleep under a shady tree, didn't hurt none at all. He just got kind of drowsy, and he just, well, he just dozed off. Well, sir, it ain't gonna be that easy for you. No, sir, not that easy.
