More quotes by 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
I have a great deal of mind. It takes a long time to change it.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
The writing career is not a romantic one. The writer's life may be colorful, but his work itself is rather drab.
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
Love is like the measles, all the worse when it comes late.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
[When working on a book] I have an almost complete detachment from the world I live in, a sort of armor against distraction. I talk to people, move about, appear on the surface much as usual. But later on I have only a confused memory of what has happened during that period.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
What a tragedy it was that the only thing age could offer to youth was its own experience, and that the experiences of others were never profitable.
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
having considerable mind, changing it became almost as ponderous an operation as moving a barn, although not nearly so stable.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Useless as a pulled tooth.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
there is no truly honest autobiography.
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
[On the Irish:] Strange race ... Don't know what they want, but want it like the devil.
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
We are often miserable at our desk or typewriters, but not happy away from them.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Men play harder than they work women work harder than they play.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Peace is not a passive but an active condition, not a negation but an affirmation.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Besides, you want the unvarnished and ungarnished truth, and I'm no hand for that. I'm a lawyer.
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
Girls inevitably grew into women, but something of the boy persisted in every man.
