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
I believe that the matter is automatically self-regulating that those women who prefer the home and have an ability for it will eventually return to it that others, like myself, will compromise and that still others, temperamentally unfitted for it, will remain in the world to add to its productivity.

Mary Roberts Rinehart
I suppose it is because woman's courage is mental and man's physical, that in times of great strain women always make the better showing.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
People that trust themselves a dozen miles from the city, in strange houses, with servants they don't know, needn't be surprised if they wake up some morning and find their throats cut.
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

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
