No matter what anybody says to you, don't you let 'em get your goat. Quote: "You might hear some ugly talk about it at school, but do one thing for me if you will: you just hold your head high and keep those fists down. It's best to be direct and honest and not make the child confused. If a person doesn't know the answer to a child's question they shouldn't pretend they do so as to seem smart, or try to change the point so as to avoid looking like they don't know. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker thanĪdults, and evasion simply muddles 'em." - Chapter 9 of To Kill a MockingbirdĪnalysis: A child's curiosity should be fed and encouraged, not stifled.
Quote:"When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness' sake. A similar quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is: "If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility."

In this famous quote from To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus demonstrates how we can empathize with others by imagining how we would feel if we were in their situation in life - by metaphorically climbing into their skin and walking around in it. Thus we should not judge others without at least first thinking about what it's like to be them. However, it's best to be open minded and consider other viewpoints instead of only our own. Quote:"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." - Chapter 3 of To Kill a MockingbirdĪnalysis: People often make harsh and incorrect judgments about someone without knowing how things really are for that person, just as the people in To Kill a Mockingbird judged Boo Radley negatively and believed false rumors about him. Because of this, many of the most well known quotes from To Kill a Mockingbird are said by Atticus. Atticus Finch is the most wise and moral character in the book To Kill a Mockingbird.
