The O'Haras were a clannish tribe, clinging to one another in prosperity as well as in adversity, not for any overweening family affection but because they had learned through grim years that to survive a family must present an unbroken front to the world.

Yes, I'm sorry for you -- sorry to see you throwing away happiness with both hands and reaching out for something that would never make you happy. I'm sorry because you are such a fool you don't know there can't ever be happiness except when like mates like. If I were dead, if Miss Melly were dead and you had your precious honorable lover, do you think you'd be happy with him? Hell, no! You would never know him, never know what he was think..

Bio je to svet muskaracs i ona ga je tako prihvatala. Muskarac poseduje imanje, zena imanjem upravlja. Muskarac dobija pocasti za valjano upravljanje, a zena hvali njegovu pamet. Muskarac rice kao bik kad mu se u prst zarije cepka, a zena prigusuje jauke na porodaju da ga ne bi uznemirila. Muskarci govore grubo i cesto su pijani. Zene se prave da ne cuju kad im se omakne nepristojan izraz i smestaju ih pijane na spavanje bez jetke reci. Mus..

The result is that you are unendurably uppity. You should be kissed and by someone who knows how." The conversation was not going the way she wanted it. It never did when she was with him. Always, it was a duel in which she was worsted. "And I suppose you think you..

She leaves the great battlefields of Gettysburg and Vicksburg, Bull Run and Antietam to the others and places the Civil War in the middle of Scarlett O'Hara's living room.

Tutte le guerre sono sacre>> replico. << Per quelli che debbono combatterle. Se coloro che cominciano una guerra non la dichiarassero sacra, chi sarebbe tanto sciocco da andare a battersi? Ma checche dicano gli oratori agli idioti che vanno a farsi ammazzare, qualunque sia il nobile scopo che assegnano alla guerra, la ragione di questa e sempre una sola: il denaro. Tutte le guerre non sono che questioni di quattrini.>>

Rossella, non ho mai avuto la pazienza di raccogliere i frammenti di un oggetto rotto per incollarli insieme e dire a me stesso che l'oggetto riappiccicato vale quanto quello nuovo. Quello che e rotto e rotto... e preferisco ricordarmelo quando era in buono stato piuttosto che aggiustarlo e e vedere le tracce della rottura finche vivo.

for she could never long endure any conversation of which she was not the chief subject. But she smiled when she spoke, consciously deepening her dimple and fluttering her bristly black lashes as swiftly as butterflies' wings. The boys were enchanted, as she had intended them to be, and they hastened to apologize for boring her. They thought none the less of her for her lack of interest. Indeed, they thought more. War was men's business, no..

But, for four years, he had seen others who had refused to recognize defeat, men who rode gaily into sure disaster because they were gallant. And they had been defeated, just the same. He thought as he stared at Will in the shadowy hall that 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.

Did you ever in your novel reading come across the old situation of the disinterested wife falling in love with her own husband?" "You know I don't read novels," she said and, trying to equal his jesting mood, went on: "Besides, you once said it was the height of bad form for husbands and wives to love each other." "I once said too God damn many things," he retorted abruptly and rose to his feet."

Love isn't enough to make a successful marriage when two people are as different as we are. You would want all of a man, Scarlett, his body, his heart, his soul, his thoughts. And if you did not have them, you would be miserable. And I couldn't give you all of me. I couldn't give all of me to anyone. And I would not want all of your mind and your soul. And you would be hurt, and then you would come to hate me--how bitterly! You would hate t..

It was the large number of outrages on women and the ever-present fear for the safety of their wives and daughters that drove Southern men to cold and trembling fury and caused the Ku Klux Klan to spring up overnight. And it was against this nocturnal organization that the newspapers of the North cried out most loudly, never realizing the tragic necessity that brought it into being. The North wanted every member of the Ku Klux hunted down a..

Accepting Uncle Tom's Cabin as revelation second only to the Bible, the Yankee women all wanted to know about the bloodhounds which every Southerner kept to track down runaway slaves. And they never believed her when she told them she had only seen one bloodhound in all her life and it was a small mild dog and not a huge ferocious mastiff. They wanted to know about the dreadful branding irons which planters used to mark the faces of their s..

there were so many things to do to bachelors and she knew them all, the nuance of the sidelong glance, the half-smile behind the fan, the swaying of the hips so that skirts swung like a bell, the tears, the laughter, the flattery, the sweet sympathy.
