More quotes by Daphne du Maurier
Boredom is a pleasing antidote for fear
Daphne du Maurier
She had to live in this bright, red gabled house with the nurse until it was time for her to die... I thought how little we know about the feelings of old people. Children we understand, their fears and hopes and make-believe.
Daphne du Maurier
Time will mellow it, make it a moment for laughter. But now it was not funny, now I did not laugh. It was not the future, it was the present. It was too vivid and too real.
Daphne du Maurier
People who travel are always fugitives.
Daphne du Maurier
I wondered why it was that places are so much lovelier when one is alone.
Daphne du Maurier
But luxury has never appealed to me, I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.
Daphne du Maurier
I believe there is a theory that men and women emerge finer and stronger after suffering, an that to advance in this or any world we must endure ordeal by fire. (From Rebecca)
Daphne du Maurier
If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again.
Daphne du Maurier
She knew that this was happiness, this was living as she had always wished to live.
Daphne du Maurier
I wish I was a woman of about thirty-six dressed in black satin with a string of pearls.
Daphne du Maurier
Because I want to because I must because now and forever more this is where I belong to be.
Daphne du Maurier
Every moment was a precious thing, having in it the essence of finality.
Daphne du Maurier
What about the hero of The House on the Strand? What did it mean when he dropped the telephone at the end of the book? I don't really know, but I rather think he was going to be paralysed for life. Don't you?
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
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
And I don't like books which are full of name dropping.
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
The road to Manderley lay ahead. There was no moon. The sky above our heads was inky black. But the sky on the horizon was not dark at all. It was shot with crimson, like a splash of blood. And the ashes blew towards us with the salt wind from the sea.
Daphne du Maurier
From the very first, I knew that it would be so...I smiled to myself, and said, That -- and none other.
Daphne du Maurier
You had to endure something yourself before it touched you.
Daphne du Maurier
