More quotes by Marie Corelli
the world is not always kind to a clever woman even when she is visibly known to be earning her own living. There are always spiteful tongues wagging in the secret corners and byways, ready to assert that her work is not her own and and that some man is in the background, helping to keep her!
Marie Corelli
work is happiness. No one can take my work from me and therefore no one can take my happiness from me.
Marie Corelli
There is nothing so depressing as a constant contemplation of one's self, and the greatest moral cowardice in the world's opinion comes from consulting one's own personal convenience.
Marie Corelli
You should always be well and bright, for so you do your best work and you have so much beautiful work to do. The world needs it, and you must give it!

Marie Corelli
How foolish it would be if women did not obey men. The world would be all confusion!
Marie Corelli
And out of heart's pain comes heart's peace and out of desire, accomplishment.
Marie Corelli
One of the advantages or disadvantages of the way in which we live in these modern days is that we are ceasing to feel. That is to say we do not permit ourselves to be affected by either death or misfortune, provided these natural calamities leave our own persons unscathed.
Marie Corelli
The Press nowadays is not a literary press classic diction and brilliancy of style do not distinguish it by any means.
Marie Corelli
Patriotism is understood to be that virtue which consists in serving one's country but in what way is this 'Patria' or country served by slaying its able bodied men in thousands?
Marie Corelli
Great Poets discover themselves. Little Poets have to be 'discovered' by somebody else.
Marie Corelli
I attribute my good fortune to the simple fact that I have always tried to write straight from my own heart to the hearts of others.
Marie Corelli
Such lovely warmth of thought and delicacy of colour are beyond all praise, and equally beyond all thanks!
Marie Corelli
Fame, or notoriety, whichever that special noise may be called when the world like a hound 'gives tongue' and announces that the quarry in some form of genius is at bay, is apt to increase its clamor in proportion to the aloofness of the pursued animal.
Marie Corelli
Nothing gives small minds a better handle for hatred than superiority.
