Marah Ellis Ryan (1860? – 1934) was an author, actress, and activist from the United States.
People need all the good memories they can keep with them in this world; they're a sort of steering apparatus in a life-boat.
the greater part of the suffering in the world is caused not by wicked intents and hard hearts, but by the careless desire to shirk unpleasant facts, and the soft-heartedness that will assuage momentary pain at the price of making a life-long cripple, either mentally, morally, or physically.
Few questions make long friends in the hills.
Woman! woman! What a disturbing element you are in the universe - man's universe!
with the spring a sort of inspiration is wakened in the most prosaic of us. The same spirit of change that thrills the saplings with fresh vitality sends through human veins a creeping ecstasy of new life.
