The whole thing was like a nine-month ocean voyage to which you never got acclimatized.
Agatha Christie
Image
Now I am old-fashioned. A woman, I consider, should be womanly. I have no patience with the modern neurotic girl who jazzes from morning to night, smokes like a chimney, and uses language which would make a billingsgate fishwoman blush!
Agatha Christie
Image
I am all that there is of the most real.
Agatha Christie
Image
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.
Agatha Christie
