The steamship whose machinery is broken may be brought into port and made fast to the dock. She is safe, but not sound. Repairs may last a long time. Christ designs to make us both safe and sound. Justification gives the first - safety sanctification gives us the second - soundness.
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
Image
An ugly voice repels me where an ugly face would not.
Agatha Christie

To feel admiration for a man all through one's married life would, I think, be excessively tedious.
Agatha Christie
