Quotes by Harper Lee

(as spoken by Atticus Finch)

When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness' sake.  But don't make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles 'em.

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his had.  It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.
