More quotes by Margaret Mitchell
I'm riding you with a slack rein, my pet, but don't forget that I'm riding with curb and spurs just the same.
Margaret Mitchell
Somehow the bright beauty had gone from April afternoon and from her heart as well and the sad sweetness of remembering was as bitter as gall.
Margaret Mitchell
I've always had a weakness for lost causes once they're really lost.
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
Well, my dear, take heart. Some day, I will kiss you and you will like it. But not now, so I beg you not to be too impatient.

Margaret Mitchell
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
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
Every problem has two handles. You can grab it by the handle of fear or the handle of hope.
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
The usual masculine dissillusionment is discovering that a woman has a brain
Margaret Mitchell
Burdens are for shoulders strong enough to carry them.
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
I'd cut up my heart for you to wear if you wanted it.
Margaret Mitchell
