The Wit & Wisdom of a Dashing Renegade
From Rhett Butler's People
~ On Love ~
“ Loving is a chancy thing...You risk your immortal soul.”
“ I do not believe we have a choice in
that matter.
We do not choose whom we love; love chooses us.”
“ Americans are great engineers,
moneymakers, and moralizers, but they don't
know how to eat. If you don't know how to eat, you
cannot know how to make love.”
~ On Life ~
“ Sister, if I leave you with
one piece of advice, it is: Live your life.
Let no other live it for you.”
“ All the sweet, kind souls are gone.”
“ Only the good die young.”
“ What will you do Rhett? Where will you go? ”
“ Who the hell cares? There's always somewhere.”
~ On Scarlett ~
“ My God. She's just like me!”
“ Am I to have a sermon on loyalty from Miss Scarlett? Please continue. ”
“ There
I was, innocently napping, and when I sat up,
my eyes lit on the
loveliest girl I'd ever seen. And she hurled
crockery at me! ”
