The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.

About This Quote

With this quote, Atticus Finch is stating that we cannot know the reason for the existence of all living things. That the reasons and reasons for the existence of all living things are different and do not apply to us. Meaning that we should respect all living things for what they are instead of trying to alter them to fit our own needs. This quote also shows that race is not a factor in life.

The reason that black people are black is because they are black, just as white people are white because they are white. Humans were not created for other humans any more than women were created for men
