Mr. O´hara´s most excellent sentiment regarding the land... Gone with the Wind Mr. O´hara: You mean to tell me Katie Scarlett O´hara, that land doesn´t mean anything to you? Why, land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it´s the only thing that lasts. Scarlett: Oh, Pa, you talk like an Irishman. Mr. O´hara: It´s proud I am that I´m Irish. And don´t you be forgetting, Missy, that you´re half Irish too. And to anyone with a drop of Irish blood in them, why the land they live on is like their mother. Oh, but there, there now, you´re just a child, it´ll come to you this love of the land. There´s no getting away from it if you´re Irish.
