Happy Birthday!

Today is the 50th Birthday of my favorite book in the whole world, To Kill a Mockingbird. I dreaded required reading in high school but this book pulls you in, makes you love its characters and began my love of literature. If only we could all live by the wisdom of Atticus Finch!




"Courage is not a man with a gun in his hand. It's knowing 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." - Atticus Finch

"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." - Atticus Finch
