More quotes by E. M. Delafield
The best and most popular novelists do not, as a rule, have children in their books at all, and this is wise. Parents are about the only people who are interested in children, and they merely in their own ones.
E. M. Delafield
Am sorry to note that abuse and condemnation of a common acquaintance often constitutes very strong bond of union between otherwise uncongenial spirits.
E. M. Delafield
Every Englishman is an average Englishman: it is a national characteristic.
E. M. Delafield
Inequalities of Fate very curious. Should like, on this account, to believe in Reincarnation.
E. M. Delafield
There is a certain strong sense of inner conviction that strikes, with a pang as that of birth, through the very soul, and which is experienced but once or twice in a lifetime.
E. M. Delafield
