“Things are never as bad as they seem.” – To Kill a Mockingbird
“As you grow up, you always tell the truth, do no harm to others, and don’t think you are the most important being on earth. Rich or poor, you then look everyone in the eye and say, ‘I’m probably no better than you, but I’m certainly your equal.”- Harper Lee
“Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.”- To Kill a Mockingbird

“Prejudice, a dirty word, and faith, a clean one, have something in common: they both begin where reason ends.”- Go Set a Watchman
“Everybody’s gotta learn, nobody’s born knowin’.”- To Kill a Mockingbird
“You just hold your head high and keep those fists down. No matter what anybody says to you, you don’t let ’em get your goat. Try fightin’ with your head for a change.”- To Kill a Mockingbird
“Remember this also: it’s always easy to look back and see what we were, yesterday, ten years ago. It is hard to see what we are. If you can master that trick, you’ll get along.” – Go Set a Watchman
