Mary Roberts Rinehart
There is something shameful about the death of a play. It does not die with pity, but contempt.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
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.
