Quotes

  • I was a white man and turning yellow when—she came.
  • Somewhere in the South Pacific lies a little white boat with a queer crew—an arch-fiend and his two imps, a man who was a man and a woman who placed her honor far—far higher than her life.
  • Fighting is like champagne. It goes to the heads of cowards as quickly as of heroes. Any fool can be brave on a battlefield when it's be brave or else be killed.
  • Death and taxes and childbirth! There's never any convenient time for any of them!

Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell (November 8, 1900 – August 16, 1949) was an American novelist and journalist. Mitchell wrote only one novel that was published during her lifetime, the American Civil War-era novel Gone with the Wind, for which she won the National Book Award for Fiction for Most Distinguished Novel of 1936 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937. Long after her death, a collection of Mitchell's girlhood writings and a novella she wrote as a teenager, titled Lost Laysen, were published. A collection of newspaper articles written by Mitchell for The Atlanta Journal was republished in book form.
