Our Favourite Daphne du Maurier Quotes

This week we're celebrating the brilliant mind of Daphne du Maurier, born 13th May 1907 in London, England. Du Maurier's noteable works include Rebecca, The Scapegoat and Jamaica Inn.

We thought we'd share some of our favourite quotes from her multitude of works as tribute to her great writing.

“I wondered why it was that places are so much lovelier when one is alone.
