“but even if you struggle with the words you want to say, don't give up”

“If You don't give readers what they want, they'll be mad at you. If you give them what they do want, they'll be even more mad at you.”

“I don't want to hear any words like that while I'm here. Scout, you'll get in trouble if you go around saying things like that. You want to grow up to be a lady, don't you?'

I said not particularly.”

“Don't you wish you had a job like mine? All you have to do is think up a certain number of words! Plus, you can repeat words! And they don't even have to be true!”

“When you know you love someone, when you know it's finally the right time, you don't just wait around for the right words, you just say the sentences even if they're all mixed up and imperfect.”

“I don't even want you to nod, that's how much you annoy me. Just freeze and shut up.”

“Even if things don't unfold the way you expected, don't be disheartened or give up. One who continues to advance will win in the end.”

“Consciously giving up the last word is a secret prayer because the you that wants the last word isn't really you at all…it's that dark spirit of one-upmanship, that dark spirit of combativeness.”

“Focused will is incredible. If you have a dream and you don't give up no matter what obstacles come up, then life's problems will fall away and you will get what you want. It happens. It works.”

“But God knows, I don't want anyone but you. I don't even want to want anyone but you.”
