War is a thing of fearful and curious anomalies ... It has shown that government by men only is not an appeal to reason, but an appeal to arms that on women, without a voice to protest, must fall the burden. It is easier to die than to send a son to death.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
The author lives with one foot in an everyday world and the other feeling about anxiously for a foothold in another more precarious one.

Mary Roberts Rinehart
Used to move so much, every time the chickens saw the team put in the wagon, they'd lie down on their backs and hold their legs up to be tied!
Mary Roberts Rinehart
there is something shameful about the death of a play. It does not die with pity, but contempt. A book may fail, but who is there to know it? It dies and is buried, and is decently interred on the bookseller's shelf but the play dies to laughter, to scorn and disdain.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
McKnight is gradually taking over the criminal end of the business.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
People that trust themselves a dozen miles from the city, in strange houses, with servants they don't know, needn't be surprised if they wake up some morning and find their throats cut.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I have a great deal of mind. It takes a long time to change it.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
When a great burden is lifted, the relief is not always felt at once. The galled places still ache.
