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."
"I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks."
"People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for."
"Don’t talk like that, Dill,” said Aunt Alexandra. “It’s not becoming to a child. It’s – cynical.”“I ain’t cynical, Miss Alexandra. Tellin’ the truth’s not cynical, is it?”“The way you tell it, it is."
