More quotes by 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
She could not ignore life. She had to live it and it was too brutal, too hostile, for her even to try to gloss over its harshness with a smile
Margaret Mitchell
God help the man who ever really loves you.
Margaret Mitchell
what will the South be like without all our fine boys? What would the South have been if they had lived?
Margaret Mitchell
I was right when I said I'd never look back. It hurts too much, it drags at your heart till you can't ever do anything else except look back.
Margaret Mitchell
To Scarlett, there was something breath-taking about Ellen O'Hara, a miracle that lived in the house with her and awed her and charmed and soothed her.
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
A new baby! Why, Scarlett, this is a surprise!” he laughed, leaning down to push the blanket away from Ella Lorena's small ugly face. - Rhett Butler
Margaret Mitchell
Oh, why was he so handsomely blond, so courteously aloof, so maddeningly boring with his talk about Europe and books and music and poetry and things that interested her not at all - and yet so desirable?
Margaret Mitchell
I'll think of it tomorrow, at Tara. I can stand it then. Tomorrow, I'll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day.
Margaret Mitchell
Now you are beginning to think for yourself instead of letting others think for you. That’s the beginning of wisdom.
Margaret Mitchell
If I said I was madly in love with you, I'd be lying and what's more, you'd know it.
Margaret Mitchell
I've always had a weakness for lost causes once they're really lost.
Margaret Mitchell
There ain't nothin' from the outside can lick any of us.
Margaret Mitchell
Scarlett, always save something to fear—even as you save something to love.
Margaret Mitchell
Everybody's mainspring is different. And I want to say this - folks whose mainsprings are busted are better dead.
Margaret Mitchell
Every problem has two handles. You can grab it by the handle of fear or the handle of hope.
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
I will think about that tomorrow!
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
