And mark this. Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you.

I memorized this passage from The Crucible, by Arthur Miller when I was in college. It's some of the most powerful writing I've ever seen. Unfortunately, I think The Crucible was an allegorical play about the McCarthy Era hearings.

I used it on a paper about Forest Policy.
