Harper Lee

Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it.

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

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.

Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.

I am convinced that the majority of people would be generous from selfish motives, if they had the opportunity.

There seems to be more abiding interest in unearthing old memos abroad than there is here.
