Harper Lee citáty

Nelle Harper Leeová byla americká spisovatelka a redaktorka. Roku 1959 publikovala svůj román s názvem „Jako zabít ptáčka“ , který se hned po vydání stal bestsellerem. Román popisuje hrubé mezirasové vztahy mezi barevnou vrstvou obyvatelstva a bílou vrstvou obyvatelstva, které nejbouřlivěji panovaly v době hospodářské krize na jihu USA. Harper Leeová za toto jedinečné dílo, které prorazilo nespočet společenských hranic, získala roku 1961 Pulitzerovu cenu za literaturu. Jejím dalším dílem je Postav hlídku. Wikipedia

Kontext: "I'd rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays 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."

“Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”

“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 see it through no matter what.
- Atticus Finch”

Varianta: Courage is not a man with a gun in his hand. It's knowing you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.
