“Prejudice, a dirty word, and faith, a clean one, have something in common: they both begin where reason ends."
"As you grew up, you demanded of people one kind of truth. You were a child-you had to kill the false world your parents had made for you before you could get along with the real one."
“The time your friends need you is when they’re wrong, Jean Louise. They don’t need you when they’re right."
"People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for."
"It’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn’t hurt you."
"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."
"Sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of another."
