I loved something I made up
Margaret Mitchell
[Yankees] are pretty much like southerners except with worse manners, of course, and terrible accents.
Margaret Mitchell
Take my handkerchief, Scarlett. Never, at any crisis of your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief.
Margaret Mitchell
I will think about that tomorrow!
Margaret Mitchell
How wonderful to know someone who was bad and dishonorable and a cheat and a liar, when all the world was filled with people who would not lie to save their souls and who would rather starve than do a dishonorable deed!
Margaret Mitchell
After all, tomorrow is another day.
Margaret Mitchell
But she knew that no matter what beauty lay behind, it must remain there. No one could go forward with a load of aching memories.
Margaret Mitchell
Did you ever hear the Oriental proverb, The dogs bark but the caravan passes on? Let them bark, Scarlett. I fear nothing will stop your caravan.
Margaret Mitchell
Yes, as Rhett had prophesied, marriage could be a lot of fun. Not only was it fun but she was learning many things. That was odd in itself, because Scarlett had thought life could teach her no more. Now she felt like a child, every day on the brink of a new discovery.
Margaret Mitchell
The South produced statesmen and soldiers, planters and doctors, lawyers and poets, but certainly not engineers or mechanics. Let the Yankees adopt such low callings.
Margaret Mitchell
And if we folks have a motto, it's this: 'Don't holler - smile and bide your time.' We've survived a passel of things that way, smiling and biding our time, and we've gotten to be experts at surviving.
Margaret Mitchell
I'm tired of saying How wonderful you are! to fool men, who haven't got one half sense I've got.
Margaret Mitchell
He made her play and she had almost forgotten how. Life had been so serious and so bitter. He knew how to play and swept her along with him.
Margaret Mitchell
Somewhere, on the long road that wound through those four years, the girl with her sachet & dancing slippers had slipped away & there was left a woman with sharp green eyes, who counted pennies & turned her hands to many menial tasks, a woman to whom nothing was left from the wreckage except the indestructible red earth on which she stood.
Margaret Mitchell
They were always like two people talking to each other in different languages. But she loved him so much, when he withdrew as he had now done, it was like the warm sun going down and leaving her in chilly twilight dews.
Margaret Mitchell
That is the one unforgivable sin in any society. Be different and be damned!
Margaret Mitchell
Hardships make or break people.
Margaret Mitchell
I have a passionate desire for personal privacy. I want to stand before the world, for good or bad, on the book I wrote, not on what I say in letters to friends, not on my husband and my home life, the way I dress, my likes and dislikes, et cetera. My book belongs to anyone who has the price, but nothing of me belongs to the public.
Margaret Mitchell
If he's forgotten me, I'll make him remember me. I'll make him want me again.
Margaret Mitchell
No matter what rallying cries the orators give to the idiots who fight, no matter what noble purposes they assign to wars, there is never but one reason for a war. And that is money. All wars are in reality money squabbles.
