Marie Corelli
Great Poets discover themselves. Little Poets have to be 'discovered' by somebody else.
Marie Corelli
Nothing gives small minds a better handle for hatred than superiority.
Marie Corelli

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
Let me be mad, then, by all means! mad with the madness of Absinthe, the wildest, most luxurious madness in the world! Vive la folie! Vive l'amour! Vive l'animalisme! Vive le Diable!
Marie Corelli

Marie Corelli
Years should be nothing to you. Who asked you to count them or consider them? In the world of wild Nature, time is measured by seasons only-the bird does not know how old it is-the rose-tree does not count its birthdays!
Marie Corelli
What a fool cannot learn he laughs at, thinking that by his laughter he shows superiority instead of latent idiocy.
Marie Corelli
It is not so difficult to win love as to keep it!
