On Life and Morality:
* "There's a lot of things you can do in this world, Scout, but there's only one thing you can't do. You can't make someone love you."
* "Sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whisky bottle in the hand of another."

* "Sometimes the world's got to be shown that it can't get away with things."
On Character and Courage:

* "You can't go around building fences around your heart. You can't keep people away from the things they try to understand."
* "The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."

On Growing Up and Understanding:
* "You've got to learn to do things you don't like, Scout."
* "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."
* "The summer that Scout and Jem spent with Dill was the longest summer they could remember."
