… “This case, Tom Robinson’s case, is something that goes to the essence of a man’s conscience — Scout, I couldn’t go to church and worship God, if I didn’t try to help that man.” | |
“Atticus, you must be wrong….” | |
“How’s that?” | |
“Well, most folks seem to think they’re right and you’re wrong….” | |
“They’re certainly entitled to think that, and they’re entitled to full respect for their opinions,” said Atticus, “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.” | |
