Atticus ain’t ever whipped me since I can remember. And I wanta keep it that way

I couldn’t even tell you or Jem not to do something again

Atticus about the scene with the lynch mob

Maycombs black racism even saying Bob is better than the negroes because of his skin
All the little man on the witness stand had that made him any better than his nearest neighbours was that, if scrubbed with lye soap in very hot water, his skin would be white
Atticus speech in the court room
But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal- there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal to a Rockerfeller, the stupid man the equal of an Einstein and the ignorant man the equal of any college president. That institution gentlemen, is a court.
How corrupt the courts are
I ain’t ever seen a jury decide in favour of a coloured man over a white man
Maycomb classes
There’s the ordinary kind like us and the neighbours, there’s the kind like the Cunninghams out in the woods, the kind like the Ewells down at the dump, and the negroes
