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.

More quotes by 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
[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
That is the tragedy of growing old, Chris. You don't leave the world. It leaves you.
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

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
I suppose that we are only young, Chris, so long as we can forget. After that we merely remember!
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
It takes a good many years and some pretty hard knocks to make people tolerant.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
There is something shameful about the death of a play. It does not die with pity, but contempt.
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
Courage was America's watchword, but a courage of the body rather than of the soul - physical courage, not moral.
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
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
It's money that brings trouble. It always has and it always will.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
A cat and a Bible, and nobody needs to be lonely.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Suspicion is like the rain. It falls on the just and on the unjust.
