Quote by Harper Lee

“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”

“God, deities and prophets thrive on obscurity, and it does not necessarily have to be material obscurity, often it is intellectual, as well as spiritual obscurity. When humanity is bold, intellectual, spiritual and conscientious enough, it will become its own strength - it will become its own solace - it will become its own savior.”

“Everything else is expendable, but not humanhood. Every scripture, every god, every angel, every messiah, every church, every temple, every mosque, every doctrine – everything is expendable, not the innate humanhood that Mother Nature has bestowed on you through the process of natural selection.”
