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
there comes a time when ambition ceases to burn, or romance to stir, and the highest cry of the human heart is for peace.
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
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
Men play harder than they work women work harder than they play.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
It was said of Miss Letitia that when money came into her possession it went out of circulation.
