| f08fb1b | 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. | Margaret Mitchell | ||

| ac28af3 | 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.. | Margaret Mitchell | ||

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.. | Margaret Mitchell | ||

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.

Tutte le guerre non sono che questioni di quattrini.>> | Margaret Mitchell | ||

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.. | Margaret Mitchell | ||
| 41fd3fb | 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.

| e7ee0d9 | 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."

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.. | Margaret Mitchell | ||
