“Scout,” said Atticus, “when summer comes you’ll have to keep your head about far worse things…it’s not fair for you and Jem, I know that, but sometimes we have to make the best of things, and the way we conduct ourselves when the chips are down – well, all I can say is, when you and Jem are grown, maybe you’ll look back on this with some compassion and some feeling that I didn’t let you down. This case, Tom Robinson’s case, is something that goes to the essence of a man’s conscience – Scout, I couldn’t go to church and worship God if I didn’t try to help that man.”

“We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe- some people are smarter than others, some people have more opportunity because they're born with it, some men make more money than others, some ladies make better cakes than others- some people are born gifted beyond the normal scope of men.
But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal- there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal of a Rockefeller, the stupid man the equal of an Einstein, and the ignorant man the equal of any college president. That institution, gentlemen, is a court.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

“Kenapa laut memiliki ombak, tapi aku tak bisa memiliki dia?
Aduhai, kenapa langit punya awan putih bergumpal-gumpal lembut, tapi aku tak punya dia?
Kenapa bunga disukai kumbang, tapi dia tak suka aku?
Wahai, kenapa kereta berjalan di atas rel, tapi dia tidak mau berjalan di atas kehidupanku?
Kenapa cincin berjodoh dengan jari manis, tapi dia tak mau menjadikanku jari manisnya?”
