      End racism and make equality for men and women. I would teach life through music.

      I watched it a long time ago, I can't remember the plot, I just remember that it doesn't suit my age preferences, I should watch it now, it should be better

    To Kill a Mockingbird quotes

    • Scout: Atticus, do you defend niggers?

      Atticus Finch: [startled] Don't say 'nigger,' Scout.

      Scout: I didn't say it... Cecil Jacobs did; that's why I had to fight him.

      Atticus Finch: [sternly] Scout, I don't want you fightin'!

      Scout: I had to, Atticus, he...

      Atticus Finch: I don't care what the reasons are: I forbid you to fight.

    • Atticus Finch: There are some things that you're not old enough to understand just yet. There's been some high talk around town to the effect that I shouldn't do much about defending this man.

      Scout: If you shouldn't be defending him, then why are you doing it?

      Atticus Finch: For a number of reasons. The main one is that if I didn't, I couldn't hold my head up in town. I couldn't even tell you or Jem not to do somethin' again.

      [he puts his arm around her]

      Atticus Finch: You're gonna hear some ugly talk about this in school. But I want you to promise me one thing: That you won't get into fights over it, no matter what they say to you.
