More quotes by Daphne du Maurier
Nothing like a cup of tea to make a person feel better, man or woman.
Daphne du Maurier
I suppose sooner or later in the life of everyone comes a moment of trial. We all of us have our particular devil who rides us and torments us, and we must give battle in the end.
Daphne du Maurier
I could not ask forgiveness for something I had not done. As scapegoat, I could only bear the fault.
Daphne du Maurier
And I don't like books which are full of name dropping.
Daphne du Maurier
She knew that this was happiness, this was living as she had always wished to live.
Daphne du Maurier
When the leaves rustle, they sound very much like the stealthy movement of a woman in evening dress, and when they shiver suddenly, and fall, and scatter away along the ground, they might be the patter of a woman’s hurrying footsteps, and the mark in the gravel the imprint of a high-heeled shoe.
Daphne du Maurier
It wouldn't make for sanity would it, living with the devil.
Daphne du Maurier
Women want love to be a novel, men a short story.
Daphne du Maurier
... and through it all and afterwards they would be together, making their own world where nothing mattered but the things they could give to one another, the loveliness, the silence, and the peace.
Daphne du Maurier
A familiar name on its own, however, does not carry its bearer far unless the talent is there, and the will to work.
Daphne du Maurier
I had build up false pictures in my mind and sat before them. I had never had the courage to demand the truth.
Daphne du Maurier
A dreamer, I walked enchanted, and nothing held me back.
Daphne du Maurier
The moment of crisis had come, and I must face it. My old fears, my diffidence, my shyness, my hopeless sense of inferiority, must be conquered now and thrust aside. If I failed now I should fail forever.
Daphne du Maurier
I wondered why it was that places are so much lovelier when one is alone.
Daphne du Maurier
People who travel are always fugitives.
Daphne du Maurier
If you think I'm one of the people who try to be funny at breakfast you're wrong. I'm invariably illtempered in the early morning.
Daphne du Maurier
When she smiled it was as though she embraced the world.
Daphne du Maurier
I wondered how many people there were in the world who suffered, and continued to suffer, because they could not break out from their own web of shyness and reserve, and in their blindness and folly built up a great distorted wall in front of them that hid the truth.
Daphne du Maurier
Once a person gave his talent to the world, the world put a stamp upon it. The talent was not a personal possession any more. It was something to be traded, bought and sold. It fetched a high price, or a low one. It was kicked in the common market.
Daphne du Maurier
Writers should be read, but neither seen nor heard.
Daphne du Maurier
