Agatha Christie
Fey...a Scotch word...It means the kind of exalted happiness that comes before disaster. You know--it's too good to be true.
Agatha Christie
I can't imagine why everybody is always so keen for authors to talk about writing. I should have thought it was an author's business to write, not talk.
Agatha Christie
I like to inquire into everything. Hercule Poirot is a good dog. The good dog follows the scent, and if, regrettably, there is no scent to follow, he noses around - seeking always something that is not very nice.
Agatha Christie
Very unfortunately, she had no husband. She had never had a husband, and therefore did not kill a husband.
Agatha Christie
Don't think. That is the wrong way to bring anything back. Let it go. Sooner or later it will flash into your mind.
