Here’s the list from WIKI – Quote

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.
Pt. 1, ch. 2
Jean Louise (Scout) Finch
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.
Pt. 1, ch. 3
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.
Pt. 1, ch. 3
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.
Pt. 1, ch. 9
Atticus Finch
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.
Pt. 1, ch. 9
Atticus Finch
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.
Pt. 1, ch. 10
Atticus Finch & Miss Maudie
People in their right minds never take pride in their talents.
Pt. 1, ch. 10
Miss Maudie
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.
Pt. 1, ch. 11
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.
Pt. 2, ch. 16
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.
Pt. 2, ch. 18
