More quotes by Gertrude Atherton
Nursing is not only a natural vocation for a woman, but an occupation which increases her matrimonial chances about eighty per cent.
Gertrude Atherton
There is nothing so carking as the pangs of unsatisfied curiosity.
Gertrude Atherton
the curse of human nature is imagination. When a long anticipated moment comes, we always find it pitched a note too low, for the wings of imagination are crushed into its withering sides under the crowding hordes of petty realities.
Gertrude Atherton
Women love the lie that saves their pride, but never an unflattering truth.
Gertrude Atherton
stoicism is the fundamental characteristic of the French.
Gertrude Atherton
Plot and melodrama were in every life in some so briefly as hardly to be recognized, in others-in that of certain men and women in the public eye, for instance-they were almost in the nature of a continuous performance.
Gertrude Atherton
I want books written out of a brain and heart and soul crowded and vital with Life, spelled with a big L. I want poetry bursting with passion. I don't care a hang for the 'verbal felicities.' They'll do for the fringe, but I want the garment to warm me first.
Gertrude Atherton

Gertrude Atherton

Gertrude Atherton
The Southerners are the only cooks in the United States. The real difference between the South and the North is that one enjoys itself getting dyspepsia and the other does not.
Gertrude Atherton
It is seldom that the imagination is disappointed in the 'ancestral piles' of England.
Gertrude Atherton
there is no greater fraud or bore than the writer who has acquired the art of saying nothing brilliantly.
Gertrude Atherton
genius must ever be imperfect. Life is not long enough nor slow enough for both brain and character to grow side by side to superhuman proportions.
Gertrude Atherton
Here is a simple recipe to begin with. Get up every morning with the set intention of writing and go to your desk and sit there for three hours, whether you accomplish anything or not. Before long you will find that you are writing madly, not waiting for inspiration.
Gertrude Atherton
Never trust a woman who will not lie about her age after thirty. She is unwomanly and unhuman and there is no knowing what crimes she will commit.
Gertrude Atherton
Success is a great healer.
Gertrude Atherton
... books are too heterogeneous an interest to furnish a vital one in life, a reason for being alive.
Gertrude Atherton
Every leader of a great revolution is a fanatic and a Jesuit.
