Margaret Mitchell
Image

Margaret Mitchell
Image
My age is my own private business and I intend to keep it so - if I can. I am not so old that I am ashamed of my age and I am not so young that I couldn't have written my book and that is all the public needs to know about my age.

The liar was the hottest to defend his veracity, the coward his courage, the ill-bred his gentlemanliness, and the cad his honor
Margaret Mitchell

What most people don't seem to realize is that there is just as much money to be made out of the wreckage of a civilization as from the upbuilding of one.
Margaret Mitchell
Image
I won't need you to rescue meM. I can take care of myself, thank you. - Scarlett O'Hara.

That is the one unforgivable sin in any society. Be different and be damned!
Margaret Mitchell
