With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.

Take my handkerchief, Scarlett. Never, at any crisis of your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief.

Dear Scarlett! You aren't helpless. Anyone as selfish and determined as you are is never helpless. God help the Yankees if they should get you." -Rhett Butler

I bare my soul and you are suspicious! No, Scarlett, this is a bona fide honorable declaration. I admit that it's not in the best of taste, coming at this time, but I have a very good excuse for my lack of breeding. I'm going away tomorrow for a long time and I fear that if I wait till I return you'll have married some one else with a little money. So I thought, why not me and my money? Really, Scarlett, I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands.

If he's forgotten me, I'll make him remember me. I'll make him want me again.

I've found out that money is the most important thing in the world and, as God is my witness, I don't ever intend to be without it again. I'll never be hungry again.

I do not write with ease, nor am I ever pleased with anything I write. And so I rewrite.
