Mary Burchell Quotes & Sayings

I concede that a bad romantic novel is embarrassing and indefensible. So is a bad so-called realistic novel. (And it is usually pretentious into the bargain which is insufferable.) But a good romantic novel is a heart-warming thing which strikes a responsive chord in those who are happy and offers a certain lifting of the spirits to those who are not. — Mary Burchell

Dear child, there are few problems in life which kindness and common sense cannot make simple and manageable. — Mary Burchell
