More quotes by Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart
A cat and a Bible, and nobody needs to be lonely.
Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart
Young Doctor Arden was gong through the process of reorienting himself after a night's sleep.
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
Men play harder than they work women work harder than they play.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Enemies are an indication of character.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.
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
Peace is not a passive but an active condition, not a negation but an affirmation.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I suppose that we are only young, Chris, so long as we can forget. After that we merely remember!
Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart
