What is a Finch's description/quote from the text in To Kill A Mockingbird?

*Note that I am not talking about Atticus, Jem, or Scout. Just a direct description about a Finch?

Atticus's advice "to climb into someone's skin and walk around in it" is a little more Silence of the Lambs than the typical advice to walk a mile in someone's shoes, but the idea is the same: compassion is based on sympathy, on being able to put yourself in the other person's place and understand why they act the way they do even if you don't agree with it.
