“I'm tired of everlastingly being unnatural and never doing anything I want to do. I'm tired of acting like I don't eat more than a bird, and walking when I want to run and saying I feel faint after a waltz, when I could dance for two days and never get tired. I'm tired of saying, 'How wonderful you are!' to fool men who haven't got one-half the sense I've got, and I'm tired of pretending I don't know anything, so men can tell me things and feel important while they're doing it.”
― Margaret Mitchell, Gone With The Wind

― Hilary McKay

“I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands.”
― Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind
