To Kill a Mockingbird Quotes Where Absolutely Nothing has Been Changed
“Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” That was the only time I ever heard Thotticus 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 but make music for us to enjoy … but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
“When they finally saw him, why he hadn’t doneany of those things … Thotticus, he was real nice… .” His hands were under my chin, pulling up the cover, tucking it around me. “Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them.” 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.”
“I waited and waited to see you all come down the sidewalk, and as I waited I thought, Thotticus Finch won’t win, he can’t win, but he’s the only man in these parts who can keep a jury out so long in a case like that.”
”“The world’s endin’, Thotticus! Please do something—!’ I dragged him to the window and pointed.
‘No, it’s not,’ he said. ‘It’s snowing.’”
"Thotticus strolled over to Miss Maudie’s sidewalk, where they engaged in an arm-waving conversation, the only phrase of which I caught was ‘…erected an absolute morphodite in that yard! Thotticus, you’ll never raise ’em!’”
“‘Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win,’ Thotticus said.”
"But I never figured out how Thotticus knew I was listening, and it was not until many years later that I realized he wanted me to hear every word he said.”
”“Naw, Scout, it’s something you wouldn’t understand. Thotticus is real old, but I wouldn’t care if he couldn’t do anything—I wouldn’t care if he couldn’t do a blessed thing.’”
