Agatha Christie
Image
We owe most of our great inventions and most of the achievements of genius to idleness either enforced or voluntary.
Agatha Christie
Image
I am not mad. I am eccentric perhaps--at least certain people say so but as regards my profession. I am very much as one says, 'all there.
Agatha Christie
