More quotes by Mary Roberts Rinehart
the theater is the only money-making business I know in which haste apparently rules from first to last.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Conflict is the very essence of life.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Men... look back on the children who were once themselves, and attempt to reconstruct them. But they can no longer think like the child.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I believe that the matter is automatically self-regulating that those women who prefer the home and have an ability for it will eventually return to it that others, like myself, will compromise and that still others, temperamentally unfitted for it, will remain in the world to add to its productivity.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I suppose it is because woman's courage is mental and man's physical, that in times of great strain women always make the better showing.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
There is no place in the world, I imagine, for a philosopher with a sense of humor, a new leisure, and an inquiring turn of mind!
Mary Roberts Rinehart
When a great burden is lifted, the relief is not always felt at once. The galled places still ache.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
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
Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Death was a beginning and not an end it was the morning of the spirit. Tired bodies lay down to sleep and their souls wakened to the morning, rested the first fruits of them that slept.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
A little work, a little sleep, a little love and it's all over.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Useless as a pulled tooth.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Curious, how one remembered Christmas. Perhaps because other days might appeal to the head, but this one appealed to the heart.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Courage was America's watchword, but a courage of the body rather than of the soul - physical courage, not moral.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Men play harder than they work women work harder than they play.
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
All houses in which men have lived and suffered and died are haunted houses.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
[On the Irish:] Strange race ... Don't know what they want, but want it like the devil.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Of one thing the reader can be certain: the more easily anything reads, the harder it has been to write.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
as all women know, there are really no men at all. There are grown-up boys, and middle-aged boys, and elderly boys, and even sometimes very old boys. But the essential difference is simply exterior. Your man is always a boy.
