Toga Quote by Margaret Mitchell
““Bio je to svet muškaracs i ona ga je tako prihvatala. Muškarac poseduje imanje, žena imanjem upravlja. Muškarac dobija počasti za valjano upravljanje, a žena hvali njegovu pamet. Muškarac riče kao bik kad mu se u prst zarije cepka, a žena prigušuje jauke na porođaju da ga ne bi uznemirila. Muškarci govore grubo i često su pijani. Žene se prave da ne čuju kad im se omakne nepristojan izraz i smeštaju ih pijane na spavanje bez jetke reči. Muškarci su sirovi i nemaju dlake na jeziku, žene su uvek plemenite, milostive i pune oproštaja.””
