More quotes by Mary Roberts Rinehart
A little work, a little sleep, a little love and it's all over.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
To the bottle! In infancy, the milk bottle in our prime, the wine bottle in our dotage, the pill bottle.
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
It was said of Miss Letitia that when money came into her possession it went out of circulation.
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
pretense is the oil that lubricates society.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Girls inevitably grew into women, but something of the boy persisted in every man.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
There is a point at which curiosity becomes unbearable, when it becomes an obsession, like hunger.
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
