More quotes by Mary Roberts Rinehart
A little work, a little sleep, a little love and it's all over.
Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart
We are often miserable at our desk or typewriters, but not happy away from them.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I have a great deal of mind. It takes a long time to change it.
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
pretense is the oil that lubricates society.
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
To the bottle! In infancy, the milk bottle in our prime, the wine bottle in our dotage, the pill bottle.
