Don't you study about other folks's business till you take care of your own.
Harper Lee
The things that happen to people we never really know. What happens in houses behind closed doors, what secrets -
Harper Lee
But sometimes we have to make the best of things, and the way we conduct ourselves when the chips are down.
Harper Lee
Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.
Harper Lee
Writing is a process of self-discipline you must learn before you can call yourself a writer. There are people who write, but I think they're quite different from people who must write.
Harper Lee
I didn't know how you were going to do it, but from now on I'll never worry about what'll become of you, son, you'll always have an idea.

Harper Lee
Let the dead bury the dead.
Harper Lee
You just hold your head high and keep those fists down. No matter what anybody says to you, don't you let 'em get your goat. Try fighting with your head for a change...
Harper Lee
She's an old lady and she's ill. You just hold your head high and be a gentleman. Whatever she says to you, it's your job not to let her make you mad.
Harper Lee
Finders were keepers unless title was proven.
Harper Lee
Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.
Harper Lee
The remainder of my schooldays were no more auspicious than the first. Indeed, they were an endless Project that slowly evolved into a Unit, in which miles of construction paper and wax crayon were expended by the State of Alabama in its well-meaning but fruitless efforts to teach me Group Dynamics.
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
You can choose your friends, but you sho' can't choose your family.
Harper Lee
When you're at the top, there's only one way to go.
Harper Lee
People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.
Harper Lee
I was not so sure, but Jem told me I was being a girl, that girls always imagined things, that’s why other people hated them so, and if I started behaving like one I could just go off and find some to play with.
