To Kill A Mocking Bird Quotes
- “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of
his skin and walk around in it.”
- “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 you begin anyway and see it through no matter what."
- “Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts.”
- “Atticus said to Jem one day, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot
all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird." That was the only time I
ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. "Your father’s right," she
said. "Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens,
don’t nest in corn cribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a
mockingbird.”
- “Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win.”
- “If there's just one kind of folks, why can't they get along with each other? If they're all alike, why do they go out of
their way to despise each other? Scout, I think I'm beginning to understand something. I think I'm beginning to
understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time. It's because he wants to stay inside.”
- “There are just some kind of men…who’re so busy worrying about the next world they’ve never learned to live in
this one.”
- "The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."
- "Best way to clear the air is to have it all out in the open."
