More quotes by Mary Roberts Rinehart

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
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
Suspicion is like the rain. It falls on the just and on the unjust.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
[On the Irish:] Strange race ... Don't know what they want, but want it like the devil.
Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart
I have a great deal of mind. It takes a long time to change it.
Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart
Men... look back on the children who were once themselves, and attempt to reconstruct them. But they can no longer think like the child.
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
Of one thing the reader can be certain: the more easily anything reads, the harder it has been to write.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
We are often miserable at our desk or typewriters, but not happy away from them.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Young Doctor Arden was gong through the process of reorienting himself after a night's sleep.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
the calm of a place like Bellwood is the peace of death without the hope of resurrection.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
That is the tragedy of growing old, Chris. You don't leave the world. It leaves you.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
There is something shameful about the death of a play. It does not die with pity, but contempt.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
