Marie Corelli quotes

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night. (Marie Corelli)
Such lovely warmth of thought and delicacy of colour are beyond all praise, and equally beyond all thanks! View quote

Marie Corelli

Marie Corelli
