Famous quotes containing the words lee, scratch and/or perry:
“I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.... Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
—Harper Lee (b. 1926)
“And now I even have to scratch my back myself.”
—Lorenz Hart (1895–1943)
“As Ah Ling would say, “Even though the eyes may see, the mind will not believe.””
—Joseph O’Donnell, and Clifford Sanforth. Arthur Perry (Bela Lugosi)
