| Atticus | Thank you for my children, Arthur |
| Dolphus Raymond | Secretly , Miss Finch, im not much of a drinker, but you see they could never, never understand that i live like i do because thats the way i live. |
| Atticus | Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit' em, but remember its a sin to kill a mockingbird |
| Scout | Well itd be sort of like shootin a mockingbird, wouldnt it? |
| Atticus | You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk aaround in it. |
| Heck Tate | ...theres just some kind of men you have to shoot before you can say hidy to 'em. Even then, they aint worth the bullet it takes to shoot 'em. |
| Scout | Hey Boo. |
| Jem | I think im beginning to understand why Boo Radley stayed shut up in the house all the time...its because he wants to stay inside. |
| Heck Tate | I may not be much, Mr. Finch, but im still the sheriff of Maycomb County and Bob Ewell feel on his knife. |
| Dill | The way that man called him 'boy' all the time and sneered him... hasnt anybody got any business talkin' like that-- it just makes me sick. |
| Atticus | As u grow older youll see white men cheat black mean everyday of ur life but let me tell u something and dont u forget it whenever a white man does that to a black man no matter if he is rich he is or how fine a family he comes from he is trash |
| Atticus | I dont know, but they did it. theyve done it before and they did it tonight and theyll do it again and when they do it- seems that only children weep. |
| Mrs. Merriweather | I tell you there are some good but misguided people in this town.. folks in this town who think theyre doing right, i mean. |
| Dill | There aint one thing in the world i can do about folks except laugh, so im gonna join the circus and laugh my head off. |
| Miss Maudie | Mockingbirds dont do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. |
| Miss Maudie | Whether Maycomb knows it or not, we're paying the highest tribute we can pay a man. We trust him to do right. Its that simple. |
| Scout | Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good luck pennies, and our lives. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it; we had given him nothing, and it made me sad. |
| Heck Tate | Let the dead bury the dead. |
| Atticus | In the name of God, do your duty. In the name of God, believe Tom Robinson |
| Tom Robinson | I felt sorry for her, she seemed to try more 'n the rest of 'em |
| Rev Sysks | Miss Jean Louise, Stand up. Youre fathers passin' |
| Mayella Ewell | He took advantage of me. An' if you fine, fancy gentlemen aint gonna do nothin' about it, then youre just a bunch of lousy, yella, stinkin,' cowards. |
