More quotes by 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
[Yankees] are pretty much like southerners except with worse manners, of course, and terrible accents.
Margaret Mitchell
Burdens are for shoulders strong enough to carry them.
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
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
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
You should be kissed and by someone who knows how.
Margaret Mitchell
Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything, for 'Tis the only thing in this world that lasts, 'Tis the only thing worth working for, worth fighting for - worth dying for.

Margaret Mitchell

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
Crackers are short on sparkle.
Margaret Mitchell

Margaret Mitchell
Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.
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
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
Oh, why was he so handsomely blond, so courteously aloof, so maddeningly boring with his talk about Europe and books and music and poetry and things that interested her not at all - and yet so desirable?
Margaret Mitchell
