As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.

I saw it when I was 14. I had just finished reading Gone With the Wind for the first time. I actually sighed outloud when Clark Gable appeared on the screen. (First time I saw him).

What I love about Gone with the Wind as I have read it over the years is that it is a book that has grown with me. At 14, I wanted to be Scarlett. By time I reached my 40s, I did not. At 14, I thought Ashley Wilkes the biggest loser. By time I reached my 40s, I realized just how devestating it could be when your world blew up.

Melanie is a wonderful character. Finally, Rhett Butler is still Rhett Butler and as I have grown up, my appreciation of the character grew with me.

Margaret Mitchell wrote a classic. I've read it about 30 times..and just writing this post makes me want to pick it up and read it again.

My all-time favorite movie/book. (YES - I read the whole book and “Scarlett” when it came out.) Time to watch it again!
