Margaret Mitchell
I loved something I made up
Margaret Mitchell
If! If! If! There were so many ifs in life, never any sense of security, always the dread of losing everything.
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
Now you are beginning to think for yourself instead of letting others think for you. That’s the beginning of wisdom.
Margaret Mitchell
Her lips on his could tell him better than all her stumbling words.
Margaret Mitchell
Everybody's mainspring is different. And I want to say this - folks whose mainsprings are busted are better dead.
Margaret Mitchell
No matter what rallying cries the orators give to the idiots who fight, no matter what noble purposes they assign to wars, there is never but one reason for a war. And that is money. All wars are in reality money squabbles.
Margaret Mitchell
