This quote summarizes everything I love in one certain book. (Hint for kiddos who were born in this century; Gone with the wind. And yes, in the book Rhett doesn't say "Frankly---" or at least it wasn't in the Finnish translation...)
This kind of books are so rare nowadays, I'm actually afraid of going into a library anymore because the new books are filled with perfect Mary-Sues. I feel that the writers of today have no ------ to make mean, spoiled, selfish and unperfect main characters. Or wait, never read the book but I remember seeing that Twilight's Bella being an - when the little girl was killed in the movie. Did she even offer to die for her?

Meh, whatever, this quote is the best anyway. It makes me understand that you can do anything with the main character, even ruin her/his life, and still have a perfect ending without the happy life etc. And it is a special one, never seen anything like that in the end of a book. :O
