“You're so brutal to those who love you, Scarlett. You take their love and hold it over their heads like a whip.”

“I don’t think you know what it’s like to have someone head over heels in love with you. What’s the good of a man who’s upside down?”

“Scarlett, always save something to fear—even as you save something to love.”

“That's what people do who love you. They put their arms around you and love you when you're not so lovable.”

“She knows what it's like to love someone who cannot love you back. Someone who needs you, holds you, yes, but someone who will never know that love is the knife in your heart.”

“Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.”

“I’m gonna rock you baby to sleep
I’m gonna make you crazy over me
I’m gonna hold you like you’ve never been held before
And love you till you tell me you can’t love anymore
I’m gonna shake your emotion right down to your soul
And then I’m gonna love you all over in and out of control
If this is how love is supposed to feel
Baby I know I’ve fallen head over heels
I’m gonna rock you baby.”

“But, Scarlett, did it ever occur to you that even the most deathless love could wear out?”

“Cause when you're fifteen
And somebody tells you they love you,
you're gonna believe them.
And when you're fifteen,
Feeling like there's nothing to figure out,
Well count to ten, take it in.
This is life before you know
Who you're gonna be,
You're fifteen.”

“Everyone thinks you're so strong and self-confident, but inside you're a frightened child, waiting to suffer betrayal again from those who should love you most.”
