More quotes by Mary Roberts Rinehart
A little work, a little sleep, a little love and it's all over.
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
That is the tragedy of growing old, Chris. You don't leave the world. It leaves you.
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

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
Useless as a pulled tooth.
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
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
McKnight is gradually taking over the criminal end of the business.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Peace is not a passive but an active condition, not a negation but an affirmation.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
