Agatha Christie
Image
I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations and suddenly find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about...It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.
Agatha Christie
Image
Money ... is always the great clue to what is happening in the world.
Agatha Christie
Image
I have often had occasion to notice how, where a direct question would fail to elicit a response, a false assumption brings instant information in the form of a contradiction.
Agatha Christie
Image
It's very inconvenient to be loved. Nearly everyone has found that out, sooner or later. The fewer people who love you the less you will have to suffer.
Agatha Christie
Image
Juliet singles out Romeo. Desdemona claims Othello. They have no doubts, the young, no fear, no pride.
Agatha Christie
Image
Truth, however bitter, can be accepted, and woven into a design for living.
