A Sweet Quote

Rhett Butler, (while leaving Scarlett for ever, "Scarlett, I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as the new. What is broken is broken--and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken piece as long as I lived..."

Every thing about this novel was beautiful, even the way Rhett leaves Scarlett. No other author could have described this is in better words. Mitchell is damn good at using the precise words at the precise time!

Would love to write such a novel some day that is still considered one of the best romantic novels ever written in the history of English Literature!
