Literary Quotes

Some of my favorite quotes from the books I have read till now.

To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.

There are some kind of men who--who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one.

I was born good but had grown progressively worse every year. (Something on the lines of: I was born intelligent, education ruined me. )

People in their right minds never take pride in their talents.(Somehow this reminds me of Sachin Tendulkar.)

The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience. (so true!!)

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.

Folks don’t like to have somebody around knowin’ more than they do. It aggravates ‘em. You’re not gonna change any of them by talkin’ right, they’ve got to want to learn themselves, and when they don’t want to learn there’s nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language. (Couldn't agree with this more :) )

So it took an eight-year-old child to bring 'em to their senses.... That proves something - that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human. Hmm, maybe we need a police force of children. (You will understand this one, if you have read this book, sorry :( )

I will probably do it one book at a time :) So bye for now!!
