Make up your mind to this. If you are different, you are isolated, not only from people of your own age but from those of your parents' generation and from your children's generation too. They'll neve...
Madam, you flatter yourself. I do not want to marry you or anyone else. I am not a marrying man. - Rhett Butler
Just think, Scarlett, a half-million dollars, if you'd only restrained your fiery nature and not rushed into wedlock again!
It's hard to be strict with a man who loses money so pleasantly.
Indeed! he said coolly. Well, who's the happy father? Ashley?
In the nine years before Scarlett was born, the town had been called, first, Terminus and then Marthasville, and not until the year of Scarlett’s birth had it become Atlanta. When Gerald first moved t...
I've always had a weakness for lost causes once they're really lost.
I love you...I've always loved you. I've never loved anybody else. I just married Charlie to - to try to hurt you. Oh, Ashley, I love you so much I'd walk every step of the way to Virginia just to be...
I don't want any money for it, he said. It's a gift. Scarlett's mouth dropped open. The line was so closely, so carefully drawn where gifts from men were concerned. Candy and flowers, dear, Ellen had...
How wonderful to know someone who was bad and dishonorable and a cheat and a liar, when all the world was filled with people who would not lie to save their souls and who would rather starve than do a...

Come, Scarlett, you are no child, no schoolgirl to put me off with foolish excuses about decency and so forth. Say you'll marry me when I come back or, before God, I won't go. I'll stay around here an...
Better to be tormented with memories of Ashley than Charleston accents.
Because she hated herself, she hated them all with the fury of the thwarted and humiliated love of sixteen. Only a little true tenderness had been mixed into her love. Mostly it had been compounded ou...
As she chattered and laughed and cast quick glances into the house and the yard, her eyes fell on a stranger, standing alone in the hall, staring at her in a cool impertinent way that brought her up s...
As God is my witness, as God is my witness, the Yankees aren’t going to lick me. I’m going to live through this, and when it’s over, I’m never going to be hungry again. No, nor any of my folks. If I h...
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 insul...
