Movie quotes

  • (..) She has merely broken a rigid and time-honoured... code of our society. A code so severe that whoever breaks it is hounded from our midst... as unfit to live with. She must destroy the evidence... of her offence. But what was the evidence of her offence? Tom Robinson, a human being. (..)
