He had never known such galla...

He had never known such gallantry as the gallantry of Scarlett O'Hara going forth to conquer the world in her mother's velvet curtains and the tail feathers of a rooster.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

Supposed I don't want to rede...

Supposed I don't want to redeem myself? Why should I fight to uphold the system that cast me out? I shall take pleasure in seeing it smashed.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

And if we folks have a motto,...

And if we folks have a motto, it's this: 'Don't holler - smile and bide your time.' We've survived a passel of things that way, smiling and biding our time, and we've gotten to be experts at surviving.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

You're so brutal to those who...

You're so brutal to those who love you, Scarlett. You take their love and hold it over their heads like a whip.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

She hasn't your strength. She...

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

you can go to the Devil and not at your leisure. You can go now, for all I care.' 'My pet, I've been to the Devil and he's a very dull fellow. I won't go there again, not even for you.

It was this feminine conspira...

It was this feminine conspiracy which made Southern society so pleasant. Women knew that a land where men were contented, uncontradicted ans safe in possession of unpunctured vanity was likely to be a very pleasant place for women to live. So, from the cradle to the grave, women strove to make men pleased with themselves, and the satisfied men repaid lavishly with gallantry and adoration. In fact, men willingly gave ladies everything in the world except credit for having intelligence.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

If I said I was madly in love...

If I said I was madly in love with you, I'd be lying and what's more, you'd know it.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

There'll always be wars because men love wars. Women don't, but men do.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

Death, taxes and childbirth! ...

Death, taxes and childbirth! There's never any convenient time for any of them.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

All you have done is to be di...

All you have done is to be different from other women and you have made a little success of it. This is unforgivable sin in any society. The mere fact that you have succeed to run the mill is an insult to everyman who hasn't succeed.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

It is axiomatic among writers...

It is axiomatic among writers that no one ever sues the writer of an unsuccessful book. Just let a book go over twenty-five thousand copies and it is surprising how many people's feelings are hurt, how many screwballs think their brain children have been stolen, and how many people feel that they have been portrayed in a manner calculated to bring infamy upon them.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

The whole world can't lick us...

The whole world can't lick us but we can lick ourselves by longing too hard for things we haven't got any more - and by remembering too much.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

I want peace. I want to see i...

I want peace. I want to see if somewhere there isn't something left in life of charm and grace.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

I can't make you understand b...

I can't make you understand because you don't know the meaning of fear. You have the heart of a lion and an utter lack of imagination and I envy you both of those qualities. You'll never mind facing realities and you'll never want to escape from them as I do.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

Now you are beginning to thin...

Now you are beginning to think for yourself instead of letting others think for you. That’s the beginning of wisdom.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

If Gone With the Wind has a t...

If Gone With the Wind has a theme it is that of survival. What makes some people come through catastrophes and others, apparently just as able, strong, and brave, go under? It happens in every upheaval. Some people survive; others don't. What qualities are in those who fight their way through triumphantly that are lacking in those that go under? I only know that survivors used to call that quality 'gumption.' So I wrote about people who had gumption and people who didn't.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

I want to make you faint. I w...

I want to make you faint. I will make you faint. You've had this coming to you for years. None of the fools you've known have kissed you like this - have they? Your precious Charles or Frank or your stupid Ashley... I said your stupid Ashley. Gentlemen all - what do they know about women? What do they know about you? I know you.

Margaret Mitchell 185 quotes

The south produced statesmen ...

The south produced statesmen and soldiers, planters and doctors and lawyers and poets, but certainly no engineers and mechanics. Let Yankees adopt such low callings.

That is the one unforgivable sin in any society. Be different and be damned!
