That is one the most famous lines from the book!
ah you have that sophisticated look anyways
StrongSilentType: I had no choice in the matter, the teacher selected it. I wasn't looking forward to it but in the end I thought it was great. Definitely going to read it again sometime. It opens the auld mind, doesn't it?
<-- me looking sophisticated

My last quote from the book bombed but this is my second favourite passage...so well written and very true.
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 you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.

Thank you!
I like this one:
"I think I'll be a clown when I get grown," said Dill. "Yes, sir, a clown.... There ain't one thing in this world I can do about folks except laugh, so I'm gonna join the circus and laugh my head off." "You got it backwards, Dill," said Jem. "Clowns are sad, it's folks that laugh at them." "Well, I'm gonna be a new kind of clown. I'm gonna stand in the middle of the ring and laugh at the folks."
Kinda sums me up!
