Margaret Mitchell

Until you have lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.

What most people don't seem to realize is that there is just as much money to be made out of the wreckage of a civilization as from the upbuilding of one.

Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

Time, which alone makes the reputation of men, ends by making their defects respectable.
