It is no secret that I am truly a mega fan of the wonders that is To Kill A Mockingbird… the book, the film, and even the theatre! Yes I was fortunate enough to see it on Broadway a week before Broadway closed for Covid.
p.s. when it opens in London (post Covid), I will be there to watch – and encourage you all to do the same!
Here are 9 quotes from the incredible novel, that have stood the test of time!
“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.”

“I think there’s just one kind of folks. Folks.”

“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. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.”
To Kill A Mockingbird
“People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.”
