- “I was fairly sure Boo Radley was inside that house, but I couldn’t prove it, and it felt best to keep my mouth shut or I would be accused of believing in Hot Steams, phenomena i was immune to in the daytime”(43).”Hot Steams”: ghosts usually malevolent.
- “I heard another sound, so low I could not have heard it from the sidewalk. Someone in the house was laughing” (45).
- “There are just some kind of men who--who’re so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned how to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results” (50).
- “What Mr. Radley did his own business. If he wanted to come out, he would.If he wanted to stay in his own house he had the right to stay inside free from the attentions of inquisitive children, which was a mild term for the likes of us” (54).
- “I admired my brother, matches were dangerous but cards were fatal”(61).
- “It was then,I suppose, that Jem and I first started to part company” (63). Think in terms of bravery,courage versus common sense.
