The first quote is from Atticus Finch. "Link, that boy might go to the chair, but he's not going till the truth's told. Atticus's voice was even. And you know what the truth is." The second quote is from Scout. "I walked home with Dill and returned in time to overhear Atticus saying to Aunty, '...in favor of Southern womanhood as much as anybody, but not for preserving polite fiction at the expense of human life,' a pronouncement that made me suspect they had been fussing again."

"'When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness' sake. But don't make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles 'em.'”

∙ 12y agoI think this is the most important quote of the whole book and the theme:
"Atticus said to Jem one day, 'I'd rather you shoot at tin cans in the back yard, 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 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.'"(Lee 90)
