Agatha Christie
The young people think the old people are fools -- but the old people know the young people are fools.
Agatha Christie
Unless you are good at guessing, it is not much use being a detective.
Agatha Christie
In the midst of life, we are in death.
Agatha Christie
There is no detective in England equal to a spinster lady of uncertain age with plenty of time on her hands.
Agatha Christie
With method and logic one can accomplish anything.
Agatha Christie
Hate doesn't last. Love does.
Agatha Christie
He was very much a man of moods, possibly owing to what is styled the artistic temperment. I have never seen, myself, why the possession of artistic ability should be supposed to excuse a man from a decent exercise of self-control.
