Summer, and he watches 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 Picture Quote #1

There was nowhere to go, but I turned to go and met Atticus’s vest front. I buried my head in it and listened to the small internal noises that went on behind the light blue cloth: his watch ticking, the faint crackle of his starched shirt, the soft sound of his breathing. ‘Your stomach’s growling,’ I said. ‘I know it,’ he said Picture Quote #1

Mr. Avery said it was written on the Rosetta Stone that when children disobeyed their parents, smoked cigarettes and made war on each other, the seasons would change: Jem and I were burdened with the guilt of contributing to the aberrations of nature, thereby causing unhappiness to our neighbors and discomfort to ourselves Picture Quote #1

I’ve been writing as long as I’ve been able to form words. I never wrote with an idea of publishing anything until I began working on ‘[To Kill a] Mockingbird’. I think that what went before may have been a rather subconscious form of learning how to write, of training myself Picture Quote #1

Long ago, in a burst of friendliness, Aunty and Uncle Jimmy produced a son named HenryÂ¦ Picture Quote #1

That proves something- that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they’re still human Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Bad language is a stage all children go through, and it dies with time when they learn they’re not attracting attention with it Picture Quote #1

Atticus, he was real nice. Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them Picture Quote #1

Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird Picture Quote #1

Dill? Mm? Why do you reckon Boo Radleys never run off? Dill sighed a long sigh and turned away from me. Maybe he doesn’t have anywhere to run off to Picture Quote #1

Now...in an abundant society where people have laptops, cell phones, ipods and minds like empty rooms, I still plod along with books Picture Quote #1

Try fighting with your head for a change... it’s a good one, even if it does resist learning Picture Quote #1

I do much of my creative thinking while golfing. If people know you’re working at home they think nothing of walking in for a cup of coffee, but wouldn’t dream of interrupting on the golf course Picture Quote #1

Prejudice, a dirty word, and faith, a clean one, have something in common: they both begin where reason ends Picture Quote #1

Any writer worth his salt writes to please himself...It’s a self-exploratory operation that is endless. An exorcism of not necessarily his demon, but of his divine discontent Picture Quote #1

They’ve done it before and they’ll do it again and when they do it -- seems that only the children weep. Good night Picture Quote #1

I wanted you see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand Picture Quote #1

I try to give’em a reason, you see. It helps folks if they can latch onto a reason Picture Quote #1

I never expected any sort of success with ‘Mockingbird’... I sort of hoped someone would like it enough to give me encouragement Picture Quote #1

She’s an old lady and she’s ill. You just hold your head high and be a gentleman. Whatever she says to you, it’s your job not to let her make you mad Picture Quote #1

You just hold your head high and keep those fists down. No matter what anybody says to you, don’t you let ‘em get your goat. Try fightin’ with your head for a change. -Atticus Finch Picture Quote #1
