“When they finally saw him, why he hadn’t done any of those things…Atticus, he was real nice…”
His hands were under my chin, pulling up the cover, tucking it around me.
“Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them.”
– Harper Lee
To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 31. Scout is telling Atticus how Boo Radley turned out to be a very nice person, despite her originally thinking he was a monster. Atticus points out that most people are nice when you get to know and understand them better.
