Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Ideas are like everything else. They've got to be marketed.
Agatha Christie
To keep something wild is far more difficult than to preserve it.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Where do one's fears come from? Where do they shape themselves? Where do they hide before coming out into the open?
Agatha Christie
When the fact doesn't meet the theory then let go the theory.
Agatha Christie
Truth, however bitter, can be accepted, and woven into a design for living.
Agatha Christie
One of the oddest things in life, as we all know, is the way that when you have heard a thing mentioned, within twenty-four hours you nearly always come across it again.
Agatha Christie
Everyone likes talking about himself. - Hercule Poirot
