The one thing that does not abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.
Harper Lee Quotes
As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it---whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.

About
Nelle Harper Lee, better known by her pen name Harper Lee was born in Monroeville, Alabama, USA. She was an American novelist widely known for her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960. Immediately successful, it won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. Another novel, Go Set a Watchman, was written in the mid-1950s and controversially published in July 2015 as a "sequel", though it was later confirmed to be To Kill a Mockingbird's first draft. In 2007, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature.
