Scarlett: You should die of shame to leave me here alone and helpless. Rhett: You helpless? (laughs) Heaven help the Yankees if they capture you.

Sometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show.

I'm not a film star I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

A lucky thing Eva Peron was. She died at 32. I'm already 45.

I'm a Scorpio, and Scorpios eat themselves out and burn themselves up like me.

Having lost Rhett, she can always return to the land - to Tara, to soak up its strength. . . . Tara! . . . Home. I'll go home, and I'll think of some way to get him back! After all, tomorrow is another day!
