to kill a mockingbird-quotes
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Atticus | You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around in it. |
| Miss Maudie | Atticus Finch is the same in his house as he in on the public streets. |
| Scout | It was times likes these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived. |
| Atticus | 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 you see it through no matter what. |
| Atticus | The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience. |
| Scout | Naw, Jem, I think there is just one kind of folks. Folks. |
| Scout | Atticus had used every tool available to free men to save Tom Robinson, but in the secret courts of men's hearts Atticus had no case. Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella opened her mouth and screamed. |
| Scout | 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. |
| Scout | Summer, and he watched his children's heart break. Autumn again, and Boo's children needed him. |
| Scout | Atticus, he was real nice. |
| Atticus | Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them. |
| Scout | He turned out the light and went into Jem’s room. He would be there all night, and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning. |
| Miss Maudie | Always wanted a smaller house, Jem Finch. Gives me more yard. Just think, I’ll have more room for my azaleas now! |
