Harper Lee Quote

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.
