Quote by Harper Lee

“Volevo che tu vedessi cos'è il vero coraggio, invece di farti l'idea che il coraggio è un uomo con un fucile in mano. E' quando sai che sei battuto prima di cominciare ma cominci lo stesso e vai fino in fondo qualunque cosa succeda. Si vince di rado, ma qualche volta si vince.”
