1. ______________________ “Now what if I talked white-folks’ talk at church, and

with my neighbors? They’d think I was puttin’ on airs to beat Moses.”

2. ______________________ “You never really understand a person until you consider

things from his point or view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”

3. ______________________ “Because—he—is—trash, that’s why you can’t play with

him. I’ll not have you around him, picking up his habits and learning Lord-know-what.
You’re enough of a problem to your father as it is.”

4. ______________________ “I don’t care one speck. It ain’t right, somehow it ain’t

right to do ‘em that way. Hasn’t anybody got any business talkin’ like that—it just
makes me sick.”

5. ______________________ “It ain’t honest but it’s mighty helpful to folks. Secretly,

anything needs readin’ I can do it.”

9. ______________________ “Doesn’t make it right … You just can’t convict a man

on evidence like that—you can’t.”

10. ______________________ “ … 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.”
