The Land-It means a lot to me

I’ve read quite a classic Novels and one among my favorites is ‘Gone with the Wind’.
There’s a scene in the Novel where Scarlett, the leading lady of the Novel says to her father about Tara-the Land they own doesn't mean anything to her. Her Father (Gerald) reinforces for his short-sighted, headstrong daughter the value of "the land" and the priceless inheritance that Tara represents [a lesson that Scarlett never forgets during the ravages and blows of civil war].


Gerald: Do you mean to tell me, Katie Scarlett O'Hara, that Tara - that land doesn't mean anything to you? Why, land's the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it's the only thing that lasts.


I love that dialogue.
