How can I better integrate this quote into my sentence?

This is the original sentence:
Atticus also says that the case meant something to him, “Scout, simply by the nature of the work, every lawyer gets at least one case in his lifetime that affects him personally. This one’s mine, I guess” (Lee 76).

Answer 1

Atticus demonstrated the compelling nature of his profession when he told Scout that "simply by the nature of the work, every lawyer gets at least one case in his lifetime that affects him personally. This one's mine, I guess.

How's that?
