Scarlett, always save something to fear—even as you save something to love.
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

Margaret Mitchell
Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything.
Margaret Mitchell
So it was true! A pain slashed at her heart as savagely as a wild animal's fangs.
