More From Harper Lee

[t]here is a vast difference in the attitude of a man with a gun in his hand and that of one without a gun in his hand. when a man does not have a gun in his hand, or a woman for the matter, he or she tries harder to use his or her mind, sense of compassion, and intelligence to work out a solution.

Give me the gun." ranger said. i extracted the gun from my pants and handed it over. ranger held the gun in the pulm of his hand and smiled. "it's warm," he said. he put the gun in the glove compartment and plugged the key into the ignition. am i fired?" no. any women who can heat up a gun like that is worth keeping around.

I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. i aim with my eye. i do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. i shoot with my mind. i do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. i kill with my heart.

My right hand was sort of casually near my gun, without looking like i was reaching for my gun. it wasn't easy. reaching for a gun usually looks like reaching for a gun. no one seemed to notice though. goody for our side.

Happiness is a warm gun not about heroin. a gun magazine was sitting there with a smoking gun on the cover and an article that i never read inside called 'happiness is a warm gun.' i took it right from there. i took it as the terrible idea of just having shot some animal.

Countrymen, the task ahead is great indeed, and heavy is the responsibility; and yet it is a noble and glorious challenge - a challenge which calls for the courage to dream, the courage to believe, the courage to dare, the courage to do, the courage to envision, the courage to fight, the courage to work, the courage to achieve - to achieve the highest excellencies and the fullest greatness of man. dare we ask for more in life?

What is a fleecy as a cloud, as majestic and shimmering as the breaking dawn, as gorgeous as the sun the sun is strong? why, it's me! twilight, the great gray, tiger of the sky --- light of the night, most beautiful, an avian delight. i beam --- i gleam --- i'm a livin' flying dream. watch me roll off this cloud and pop on back. this is flying. i ain't no hack.

Futurity is impregnable to mortal ken: no prayer pierces through heaven's adamantine walls. whether the birds fly right or left, whatever be the aspect of the stars, the book of nature is a maze, dreams are a lie, and every sign a falsehood.

I am told, in a dream you can only get the answer to all your questions through a dream. so in my dream, i fall asleep, and i dream, in my dream, that i'm having that absolute, revealing dream.
