- 1Miss Maudie"Miss Maudie hated her house: time spent indoors was time wasted. She was a widow, a chameleon lady who worked in her flower beds in an old straw hat and men's overalls, but after her five o'clock bath she would appear on the porch and reign over the street in magisterial beauty."
- Scout Finch - 2Miss Maudie"She loved everything that grew in God's earth, even the weeds."
- Scout Finch - 3Miss Maudie"...every time she made a cake and three littlie ones, she would call across the street: "Jem Finch, Scout Finch, Charles Baker Harris, come here!" Our promptness was always rewarded."
- Scout Finch - 4Miss Maudie"That is three-fourths coloured folks and one-fourth Stephanie Crawford," said Miss Maudie grimly. "Stephanie Crawford even told me once she woke up in the middle of the night and found him looking in the window at her. I said what did you do, Stephanie, move over in the bed for him? That shut her up a while." I was sure it did. Miss Maudie's voice was enough to shut anybody up."

- Scout Finch - 6Miss Maudie"Miss Maudie's tin roof quelled the flames."
