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
To the bottle! In infancy, the milk bottle in our prime, the wine bottle in our dotage, the pill bottle.
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
A cat and a Bible, and nobody needs to be lonely.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
When a great burden is lifted, the relief is not always felt at once. The galled places still ache.
