More quotes by Mary Roberts Rinehart
I have a great deal of mind. It takes a long time to change it.
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
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.
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
Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
To men and women who want to do things, there is nothing quite so driving as the force of an imprisoned ego. . . . All genius comes from this class.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
There is a point at which curiosity becomes unbearable, when it becomes an obsession, like hunger.
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
That is the tragedy of growing old, Chris. You don't leave the world. It leaves you.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
[On fishing:] Greatest rest in the world for the brain.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Enemies are an indication of character.
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
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
The world doesn't come to the clever folks, it comes to the stubborn, obstinate, one-idea-at-a-time people.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
pretense is the oil that lubricates society.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
[On the Irish:] Strange race ... Don't know what they want, but want it like the devil.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Conflict is the very essence of life.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Suspicion is like the rain. It falls on the just and on the unjust.
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
A cat and a Bible, and nobody needs to be lonely.
