Scarlett, from the ashes of the war-ravaged land at tara, remembering what she was taught by her father in happier times: "as god is my witness, as god is my witness, they're not going to lick me! i'm going to live through this, and when it's all over, i'll never be hungry again - no, nor any of my folks! if i have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill! as god is my witness, i'll never be hungry again."

Scarlett's mind went back through the years to the still hot noon at tara when grey smoke curled above a blue-clad body and melanie stood at the top of the stairs with charles' sabre in her hand. scarlett remembered that she had thought at the time: 'how silly! melly couldn't even heft that sword!' but now she knew that had the necessity arisen, melanie would have charged down those stairs and killed the yankee - or been killed herself.

I do not mourn the loss of my sister because she will always be with me, in my heart," she says. "i am, however, rather annoyed that my tara has left me to suffer you lot alone. i do not see as well without her. i do not hear as well without her. i do not feel as well without her. i would be better off without a hand or a leg than without my sister. then at least she would be here to mock my appearance and claim to be the pretty one for a change. we have all lost our tara, but i have lost a part of myself as well.

Rhett: don't start flirting with me. i'm not one of your plantation beaux. i want more than flirting from you. scarlett: what do you want? rhett: i'll tell you, scarlett o'hara, if you'll take that southern-belle simper off your face. someday i want you to say to me the words i heard you say to ashley wilkes: "i love you!" scarlett: that's something you'll never hear from me, captain butler, as long as you live.

I love her for what she has dared to be, for her hardness, her cruelty, her egoism, her perverseness, her demoniac destructiveness. she would crush me to ashes without hesitation. she is a personality created to the limit. i worship her courage to hurt, and i am willing to be sacrificed to it. she will add the sum of me to her. she will be june plus all that i contain.
Crush Hurt June
She comes to me when she wants to be fed. and after i feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. she's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. she's actually a very smart cat. she gets loved. she gets adoration. she gets petted. she gets fed. and she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why i say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.
