"It doesnâ€™t matter who you marry, as long as he thinks like you and is a gentleman and a Southerner and prideful. For a woman, love comes after marriage.â€ â€œOh, Pa, thatâ€™s such an Old Country notion!â€ â€œAnd a good notion it is! All this American business of running around marrying for love, like servants, like Yankees! The best marriages are when the parents choose for the girl. For how can a silly piece like yourself tell a good man from a scoundrel?"

-- Margaret Mitchell
