“(...) é um fato corriqueiro, querida Ana, pelo qual sempre passamos feito sonâmbulos, mas que, silencioso, é ainda o maior e o mais antigo escândalo: a vida só se organiza se desmentindo, o que é bom para uns é muitas vezes a morte para outros, sendo que só os tolos, entre os que foram atirados com displicência ao fundo, tomam de empréstimo aos que estão por cima a régua que estes usam para medir o mundo.”

“Neighbors bring food with death and flowers with sickness and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad.”
― To Kill a Mockingbird

“Atticus sat looking at the floor for a long time. Finally he raised his head. “Scout,” he said, “Mr. Ewell fell on his knife. Can you possibly understand?”
Atticus looked like he needed cheering up. I ran to him and hugged him and kissed him with all my might. “Yes sir, I understand,” I reassured him. “Mr. Tate was right.”
Atticus disengaged himself and looked at me. “What do you mean?”
“Well, it’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird, wouldn’t it?”
Atticus put his face in my hair and rubbed it. When he got up and walked across the porch into the shadows, his youthful step had returned. Before he went inside the house, he stopped in front of Boo Radley. “Thank you for my children, Arthur.” he said.”
