More quotes by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

"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 Finch"
"Atticus had said it was the polite thing to talk to people about what they were interested in, not about what you were interested in."
"Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts."
"The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."
"In Maycomb, if one went for a walk with no definite purpose in mind, it was correct to believe one's mind incapable of definite purpose."
