You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it

“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy . . . but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”

Winter, and a man walked into the street, dropped his glasses, and shot a dog. Summer, and he watched his children’s heart break. Autumn again, and Boo’s children needed him. Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough.

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but begin anyway and see it through no matter what

The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience

"Atticus, he was real nice"
"Most people are Scout, whe you finally see them"

Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts

As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it-whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, he is trash

I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all thistime. It's because he wants to stay inside

The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any colour of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box

There's a lot of ugly things in this world son. I wish I could keep em all away from you. That's never possible

Boo was our neighbour. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good luck pennies and our lives

I simply want to tell you that there are some men in this world who were born to do our unpleasant jobs for us. Your father is one of them

That proves something-that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human

"Dill was a curiosity"

another thing alien to Maycomb's ways

"According to neighbourhood legend"

"not a run-of-the-mill man"

"Maycomb's usual disease"

'let the dead bury the dead'

"It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.”

“Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town"

“I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks.”

"A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.”

"Now you tell your father not to teach you any more. It's best to begin reading with a fresh mind. You tell him I'll take over from here and try to undo the damage"
