Quotes by Harper Lee

US novelist (1926 - )

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.

Daylight, in my mind, the night faded.

Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win.

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.

When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness' sake!

Things are never as bad as they seem.

There's something in our world that makes men lose their heads--they couldn't be fair if they tried.

Best way to clear the air is to have it all out in the open.

You really 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.

Before I can live with other folks, I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.
