Answer 1

What kind of quotations?About who,what or when?Please be more specific.

When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness' sake. But don't make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles 'em. ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 9, spoken by the character Atticus. This shows that Atticus understands his children,which in turn shows he is a good father.

Bad language is a stage all children go through, and it dies with time when they learn they're not attracting attention with it. ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 9, spoken by the character Atticus.This shows, about Atticus,the same as the above quote.

'People in their right mind never take pride in their talents.'
~Miss Maudie Atkinson. This is telling us about Atticus,who doesn't like to boast about being one-shot Finch last time. This shows he is modest(I think),or 'in his right mind'. ;)

'Whether Maycomb knows it or not, we're paying the highest tribute we can pay a man. We trust him to do right. It's that simple.'
~Miss Maudie Atkinson,about Atticus defending Tom Robinson.

'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's when you know you'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.'
~Atticus Finch. You know you're licked before you begin means you know you are going to lose before you even start,but continue anyway.That is Atticus's definition of true courage. This relates to the theme of 'courage'.

The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box. 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. ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 23, spoken by the character Atticus.This quote speaks for itself. :)

I took it from the book,and some from a website I forgot the name of....sorry.All the explanations are by me.Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.... Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.

Atticus Finch, the Southern Alabama father and hero of this novel, instructs his teenage son when he gets his first air-rifle. The section following the ellipsis is an explanation of these instructions by Miss Maudie Atkinson, a neighbor.

Some quotations and explanations are available at http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/mocking/quotes.html. Unfortunately, chapter/page number information is not given, but you can usually figure out where it falls from the quote itself or from the context provided in the explanation. It may be a good starting point at least :-)
