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.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Peace is not a passive but an active condition, not a negation but an affirmation.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I have never learned to say 'gas' for gasoline. It seems to me as absurd as if I were to say 'but' for butter.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
there is no truly honest autobiography.
