Agatha Christie
Everyone is a potential murderer-in everyone there arises from time to time thewish to kill-though not the will to kill.
Agatha Christie
Who is there who has not felt a sudden startled pang at reliving an old experience or feeling an old emotion?
Agatha Christie
I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming... suddenly you find - at the age of 50, say - that a whole new life has opened before you.
