I always take abroad with me one really good soft pillow--to me it makes all the difference between comfort and misery.
Agatha Christie
Image
I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the “slow one” in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day.

At the small table, sitting very upright, was one of the ugliest old ladies he had ever seen. It was an ugliness of distinction - it fascinated rather than repelled.
Agatha Christie
Image
The young people think the old people are fools -- but the old people know the young people are fools.

You can only really get under anybody's skin if you are married to them.
