Barbara Cartland "Sex has to be spiritual as well as physical, and your brain comes into it too. It's just not the body." - Barbara Cartland on why she does not write about sex (1993) "They tell me these are the only sort of books that sell these days. What is the world coming to? It's insulting. It's ghastly." - Barbara Cartland condemning a new novel, Di and I, about a fictional affair between her step-granddaughter, Princess Diana, and a Hollywood screenwriter (1994) From novels "To give up something that is wrong is always the right thing to do, however hard it may seem, however many difficulties there may be in the way. One must always try not to hurt other people; one must always give them the greatest possible consideration and kindness; but there is something more important than their feelings, however dear they are to us. In doing what is right we are doing the will of God, and that comes first. We must do what is right, however great the cost to ourselves or - to other people." - Mistral, 'A Ghost in Monte Carlo' "Nothing in life is ever without its difficulties. Nothing for any of us ever runs smoothly." - Professor Lazar Srejovic, 'A Rebel Princess'
