Margaret Mitchell
In a weak moment, I have written a book.
Margaret Mitchell
It's not because I've -what is the phrase? -'swept you off your feet' by my -er- ardor?

She hasn't your strength. She's never had any strength. She's never had anything but heart.
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
