Quotes From "My Cousin Rachel" By Daphne Du Maurier

1

They hold to the thing they want, and never surrender. We have our wars and battles, Mr. Ashey. But women can fight too. Daphne Du Maurier
3
But a lonely man is an unnatural man, and soon comes to perplexity. From perplexity to fantasy. From fantasy to madness. Daphne Du Maurier
4
She has done for me at last, Rachel my torment. Daphne Du Maurier
5
Because I believe there is nothing so self-destroying, and no emotion quite so despicable, as jealousy. Daphne Du Maurier
