Quotes from to kill a mocking bird ABOUT Atticus Finch?
Can anyone find any good quotes which show the varying views on Atticus Finch from to kill a Mocking bird. On the internet I can only find quotes said by Atticus. Thanks! 
GardenersCardiff answers:
There are many quotes in the novel which “show the varying views on Atticus Finch.” Below are just a few that are worthy of your use.
CHAPTER 5:
_(Miss Maudie in a conversation with Scout) “Gracious child, I was raveling a thread, wasn’t even thinking about your father, but now that I am I’ll say this: Atticus Finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets.”
CHAPTER 10:
_(Miss Maudie explaining to Scout why Atticus feels strongly about not shooting mockingbirds) “Your father’s right … 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.”
_(Miss Maudie telling Jem and Scout about the ability that Atticus has to shoot well) “Well now, Miss Jean Louise … Still think your father can’t do anything? Still ashamed of him? … Forgot to tell you the other day that besides playing the Jew’s Harp, Atticus Finch was the deadest shot in Maycomb County in his time. … The very idea, didn’t you know his nickname was Ol‘ One-Shot when he was a boy? Why, down at the Landing when he was coming up, if he shot fifteen times and hit fourteen doves he’d complain about wasting ammunition.”
CHAPTER 11:
_(Mrs. Dubose insults Atticus as Scout and Jem pass her on the porch of her house): “Yes indeed, what has this world come to when a Finch [Atticus] goes against his raising? I’ll tell you! … Your father’s no better than the ni_ gers and trash he works for!”
CHAPTER 20:
_(Mr. Dolphus Raymond, during a conversation with Scout and Dill when Dill was upset about Mr. Kilmer’s trial tactics, gives his positive view of Atticus): “Miss Jean Louise, you don’t know your pa’s not a run-of-the-mill man, it’ll take a few years for that to sink in—you haven’t seen enough of the world yet. You haven’t even seen this town, but all you gotta do is step back inside the courthouse.”
CHAPTER 21:
_(Reverend Sykes expresses his view of Atticus after Atticus has heard the jury’s verdict against Tom Robinson and is leaving the court) “Miss Jean Louise? (Scout as narrator: “I looked around. They were standing. All around us and in the balcony on the opposite wall, the Ne_ groes were getting to their feet….”) … Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father’s passin’.”
CHAPTER 23:
_(Miss Stephanie Crawford, through Scout as narrator, describes an incident which makes clear Bob Ewell’s view of Atticus): “According to Miss Stephanie Crawford, however, Atticus was leaving the post office when Mr. Ewell approached him, cursed him, spat on him, and threatened to kill him. Miss Stephanie (who, by the time she had told it twice was there and had seen it all—passing by from the Jitney Jungle, she was)—Miss Stephanie said Atticus didn’t bat an eye, just took out his handkerchief and wiped his face and stood there and let Mr. Ewell call him names wild horses could not bring her to repeat. Mr. Ewell was a veteran of an obscure war; that plus Atticus’s peaceful reaction probably prompted him to inquire, ‘Too proud to fight, you ni_ ger-lovin‘ ba_s_tard?’ Miss Stephanie said Atticus said, ‘No, too old,’ put his hands in his pockets and strolled on. Miss Stephanie said you had to hand it to Atticus Finch, he could be right dry sometimes.”
CHAPTER 24:
_(Miss Maudie offers a view of Atticus to Aunt Alexandra when Alexandra learns of Tom’s death and expresses her concern about the way Maycomb has treated Atticus) “Have you ever thought of it this way, Alexandra? Whether Maycomb knows it or not, we’re paying the highest tribute we can pay a man [Atticus]. We trust him to do right. It’s that simple … The handful of people in this town who say that fair play is not marked W_hite Only; the handful of people who say a fair trial is for everybody, not just us; the handful of people with enough humility to think, when they look at a Ne_ gro, there but for the Lord’s kindness am l.”
Good luck!

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view–until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.

Atticus Finch
As I inched sluggishly along the treadmill of the Maycomb County school system, I could not help receiving the impression that I was being cheated out of something. Out of what I knew not, yet I did not believe that twelve years of unrelieved boredom was exactly what the state had in mind for me.

Jean Louise (Scout) Finch
And it’s certainly bad, but when a man spends his relief checks on green whiskey his children have a way of crying from hunger pains. I don’t know of any landowner around here who begrudges those children any game their father can hit. Of course he shouldn’t, but he’ll never change his ways. Are you going to take out your disapproval on his children?
Pt. 1, ch.3
Atticus Finch
The sixth grade seemed to please him from the beginning: he went through a brief Egyptian Period that baffled me – he tried to walk flat a great deal, sticking one arm in front of him and one in back of him, putting one foot behind the other. He declared Egyptians walked that way; I said if they did I didn’t see how they got anything done, but Jem said they accomplished more than the Americans ever did, they invented toilet paper and perpetual embalming, and asked where would we be today if they hadn’t? Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I’d have the facts.
Pt. 1, ch. 7
Jean Louise (Scout) Finch
When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness’ sake. But don’t make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles ’em.

Bad language is a stage all children go through, and it dies with time when they learn they’re not attracting attention with it, hotheadedness isn’t.

Why reasonable people go stark raving mad when anything involving a Negro comes up, is something I don’t pretend to understand.
Pt. 1, ch. 9
Atticus Finch
I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird…. 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.

They’re certainly entitled to think that, and they’re entitled to full respect for their opinions… But before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.

Atticus Finch
It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.
Pt. 1, ch. 11
Jean Louise (Scout) Finch
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 see it through no matter what.
Pt. 1, ch. 11
Atticus Finch
Folks don’t like to have somebody around knowin’ more than they do. It aggravates ‘em. You’re not gonna change any of them by talkin’ right, they’ve got to want to learn themselves, and when they don’t want to learn there’s nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language.
Pt. 2, ch. 12
Calpurnia
She seemed glad to see me when I appeared in the kitchen, and by watching her I began to think there was some skill involved in being a girl.
Pt. 2, ch. 12
Jean Louise (Scout) Finch
Atticus had said it was the polite thing to talk to people about what they were interested in, not about what you were interested in.
Jean Louise (Scout) Finch
Pt. 2, ch. 15
So it took an eight-year-old child to bring ’em to their senses…. That proves something – that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they’re still human. Hmp, maybe we need a police force of children.

Atticus Finch
Apparently, Mayella’s recital had given her confidence, but it was not her father’s brash kind: there was something stealthy about hers, like a steady-eyed cat with a twitchy tail.
Pt. 2, ch. 18
Slowly but surely I began to see the pattern of questions: from questions that Mr.Gilmer did not deem sufficiently irrelevant or immaterial to object to, Atticus was quietly building up before the jury the picture of the Ewell’s home life.
