Below is a quote from a book I just finished (and recommend!). I find it similar to Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird . . . .
"You know, some things don't matter that much, Lily. Like the color of a house. How big is that in the overall scheme of life? But lifting a person's heart--now that matters. The whole problem with people is--"
"They don't know what matters and what doesn't," I said, filling in her sentence and feeling proud of myself for doing so.
"I was gonna say, the problem is that they know what matters, but they don't choose it. You know how hard that is, Lily? I love May, but it was still so hard to choose Caribbean Pink. The hardest thing on earth is choosing what matters."
Amen.

I thought it was a pretty good book, too. I can see how you could connect it with TKAM.
