More quotes by Mary Roberts Rinehart
[On the Irish:] Strange race ... Don't know what they want, but want it like the devil.
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
We are often miserable at our desk or typewriters, but not happy away from them.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Courage was America's watchword, but a courage of the body rather than of the soul - physical courage, not moral.
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
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
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
[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
There is something shameful about the death of a play. It does not die with pity, but contempt.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
What a tragedy it was that the only thing age could offer to youth was its own experience, and that the experiences of others were never profitable.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
It takes a good many years and some pretty hard knocks to make people tolerant.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Young Doctor Arden was gong through the process of reorienting himself after a night's sleep.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
To the bottle! In infancy, the milk bottle in our prime, the wine bottle in our dotage, the pill bottle.
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
Suspicion is like the rain. It falls on the just and on the unjust.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
When a great burden is lifted, the relief is not always felt at once. The galled places still ache.
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 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
