1) "Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it."

2) "Lord, what a name." "your name's longer than you are. Bet it's a foot longer."

3) "He was a thin leathery with colorless eyes, so colorless they did not reflect light."

4) "The old house was the same, droopy and sick, but as we stared down the street we thought we saw an inside shutter move. Flick. A tiny, almost invisible movement, and the house was still."

5) “I tried to climb into Jem’s skin and walk around in it”

6) ''Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the tree-house; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape.''

7) "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.''

8) Jem waved my words away as if fanning gnats.
