Harper Lee: Idézetek angolul
“Things are always better in the morning.”
Forrás: To Kill a Mockingbird
Pt. 2, ch. 20
Atticus Finch
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
Kontextus: I’m no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system — that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.
“A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.”

Atticus Finch
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
Kontextus: The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box. As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it — whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.
“Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed.”

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
Kontextus: In the secret courts of men's hearts Atticus had no case. Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed.
“Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passin'.”

Változat: I don't know, but they did it. They've done it before and they did it tonight and they'll do it again and when they do it--seems that only children weep.
