More quotes by 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
I will think about that tomorrow!
Margaret Mitchell
Take my handkerchief, Scarlett. Never, at any crisis of your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief.
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
Now you are beginning to think for yourself instead of letting others think for you. That’s the beginning of wisdom.
Margaret Mitchell
There ain't nothin' from the outside can lick any of us.
Margaret Mitchell
God help the man who ever really loves you.
Margaret Mitchell
So it was true! A pain slashed at her heart as savagely as a wild animal's fangs.
Margaret Mitchell
Every problem has two handles. You can grab it by the handle of fear or the handle of hope.
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
Vanity was stronger than love at sixteen and there was no room in her hot heart now for anything but hate.
Margaret Mitchell
[T]he merciful adjustment which nature makes when what cannot be cured must be endured.
Margaret Mitchell
It's a curse - this not wanting to look on naked realities. Until the war, life was never more real to me than a shadow show on a curtain. And I preferred it so. I do not like the outlines of things to be too sharp. I like them gently blurred, a little hazy.
Margaret Mitchell
Crackers are short on sparkle.
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
She couldn't survey the wreck of the world with an air of casual unconcern.
Margaret Mitchell
Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything.
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
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
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
