More quotes by Margaret Mitchell

Margaret Mitchell
[T]he merciful adjustment which nature makes when what cannot be cured must be endured.
Margaret Mitchell
I'd cut up my heart for you to wear if you wanted it.
Margaret Mitchell
The green eyes in the carefully sweet face were turbulent, willful, lusty with life, distinctly at variance with her decorous demeanor. Her manners had been imposed upon her ... her eyes were her own.
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
You should be kissed and by someone who knows how.
Margaret Mitchell
Perhaps - I want the old days back again and they'll never come back, and I am haunted by the memory of them and of the world falling about my ears.
Margaret Mitchell
. . . She knew only that if she did or said thus-and-so, men would unerringly respond with the complimentary thus-and-so. It was like a mathematical formula and no more difficult, for mathematics was the one subject that had come easy to Scarlett in her schooldays.
Margaret Mitchell
Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
