I just woke up feeling happy this morning. You know those days when everything in the world seems right.

One knows so little. When one knows more it is too late.
Agatha Christie

You agree - I'm sure you agree that beauty is the only thing worth living for.

Never go back to a place where you have been happy. Until you do it remains alive for you. If you go back it will be destroyed.

The human face is, after all, nothing more nor less than a mask.

There are some people who don't conform to the signals. An ordinary well-regulated locomotive slows down or pulls up when it sees the red light hoisted against it. Perhaps I was born color blind. When I see the red signal -- I can't help forging ahead. And in the end, you know, that spells disaster.

Many years ago, when I was once saying sadly to Max it was a pity I couldn't have taken up archaeology when I was a girl, so as to be more knowledgeable on the subject, he said, 'Don't you realize that at this moment you know more about prehistoric pottery than any woman in England?'

You've a pretty good nerve, said Ratchett. Will twenty thousand dollars tempt you? It will not. If you're holding out for more, you won't get it. I know what a thing's worth to me. I, also M. Ratchett. What's wrong with my proposition? Poirot rose. If you will forgive me for being personal - I do not like your face, M. Ratchett,

Liking is more important than loving. It lasts. I want what is between us to last, Luke. I don't want us just to love each other and marry and get tired of each other and then want to marry some one else.

I have always been so sure - too sure... But now I am very humble and I say like a little child: I do not know...
