More quotes by Harper Lee
They're ugly, but those are the facts of life.
Harper Lee
It's quite a thing, if you've never been in or known a small southern town. The people are not particularly sophisticated, naturally. They're not worldly wise in any way. But they tell you a story whenever they see you.
Harper Lee
Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.
Harper Lee
I do much of my creative thinking while golfing. If people know you're working at home they think nothing of walking in for a cup of coffee, but wouldn't dream of interrupting on the golf course.
Harper Lee
Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives.
Harper Lee
It’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn’t hurt you.
Harper Lee
They've done it before and they'll do it again and when they do it -- seems that only the children weep. Good night.
Harper Lee

Harper Lee
Dill? Mm? Why do you reckon Boo Radleys never run off? Dill sighed a long sigh and turned away from me. Maybe he doesn't have anywhere to run off to
Harper Lee
Where are your pants, son?
Harper Lee
Atticus said naming people after Confederate generals made slow steady drinkers.
Harper Lee
Dill was off again. Beautiful things floated around in his dreamy head. He could read two books to my one, but he preferred the magic of his own inventions. He could add and subtract faster than lightning, but he preferred his own twilight world, a world where babies slept, waiting to be gathered like morning lilies.
Harper Lee
summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screeneed porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse summer was everything good to eatit was a thousand colors in a parched landscape.
Harper Lee
It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.
Harper Lee
We’re so rarely called on to be Christians, but when we are, we’ve got men like Atticus to go for us.
