If you haven't done anything wrong, it's because you haven't had the opportunity.
Until you’ve lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.
"All you've done is to be different from other women and you've made a little success at it. As I've told you before, that is the one unforgivable sin in any society. Be different and be damned! Scarlett, the mere fact that you've made a success of your mill is an insult to every man who hasn't succeeded. Remember, a well-bred female's place is in the home and she should know nothing about this busy, brutal world."
pg. 678 Rhett trying to explain to Scarlett why the other women disapprove of her.
It was so good to have a man beside her, to lean close to him and feel the hard swell of his arm and know that he stood between her and unnamable terrors, even though he merely sat there and stared.
And apologies, once postponed, became harder and harder to make, and finally impossible.
Only when like marries like can there be any happiness.
I'd never look back. It hurts too much, it drags at your heart till you can't ever do anything else except look back... This is what happens when you look back to happiness, this pain, this heartbreak, this discontent.
