Mary Roberts Rinehart
Men... look back on the children who were once themselves, and attempt to reconstruct them. But they can no longer think like the child.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
It was said of Miss Letitia that when money came into her possession it went out of circulation.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
There is no place in the world, I imagine, for a philosopher with a sense of humor, a new leisure, and an inquiring turn of mind!
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I had a vision ... of being found on the pavement by some passerby, with a small punctuation mark ending my sentence of life.
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
