“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.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“(...) 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.”
― Raduan Nassar, Lavoura arcaica

“Atticus said to Jem one day, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird." That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. "Your father’s right," she said. "Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corn cribs, 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, To Kill a Mockingbird
