&quot;I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It&#039;s when you know you&#039;re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs Dubose won, all ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever knew.&quot; <br /> - spoken by Atticus Finch, by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
