More quotes by Margaret Mitchell
Yes, I want money more than anything else in the world.” “Then you’ve made the only choice. But there’s a penalty attached, as there is to most things you want. It’s loneliness.
Margaret Mitchell
I'm tired of saying How wonderful you are! to fool men, who haven't got one half sense I've got.
Margaret Mitchell
In the end what will happen will be what has happened whenever a civilization breaks up. The people who have brains and courage come through and the ones who haven't are winnowed out.
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
Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.
Margaret Mitchell

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
Southerners can never resist a losing cause.
Margaret Mitchell
She hasn't your strength. She's never had any strength. She's never had anything but heart.
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
If he's forgotten me, I'll make him remember me. I'll make him want me again.
Margaret Mitchell
After all, tomorrow is another day.
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
The South produced statesmen and soldiers, planters and doctors, lawyers and poets, but certainly not engineers or mechanics. Let the Yankees adopt such low callings.
Margaret Mitchell
But the small cloud which appeared in the northwest four months ago had blown up into a mighty storm and then into a screaming tornado,sweeping away her world, whirling her out of her sheltered life,and dropping her down in the midst of this still,haunted desolation.
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
Crackers are short on sparkle.
Margaret Mitchell
So it was true! A pain slashed at her heart as savagely as a wild animal's fangs.
