Agatha Christie
Words, mademoiselle, are only the outer clothing of ideas.

Agatha Christie
When the fact doesn't meet the theory then let go the theory.

Agatha Christie
You don't realize what fine fighting material there is in age. ... You show me any one who's lived to over seventy and you show me a fighter - some one who's got the will to live.
Agatha Christie
Any coincidencce is worth noticing. You can throw it away later if it is only a coincidence.
