Zitate Harper Lee
„Aber wenn es nur eine Art von Menschen gibt, warum können sie dann nicht miteinander auskommen? Wenn sie alle gleich sind, warum haben sie dann nichts anderes im Kopf als sich gegenseitig zu verabscheuen? Scout, so allmählich wird mir was klar. So allmählich wird mir klar, weshalb Boo Radley die ganze Zeit im Haus bleibt... Er tut´s, weil er drinbleiben will“
— Harper Lee

„Sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whisky bottle in the hand of (another)... There are just some kind of men who - who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results.“

To Kill a Mockingbird
„Atticus said to Jem one day, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird." That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. "Your father’s right," she said. "Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corn cribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.“
