A man doesn't wasnt to feel that a woman cares more for him than he cares for her. He doesn't want to feel owned, body and soul. It's that damned possessive attitude. This man is mine---he belongs to me! He wants to get away --- to get free. He wants to own his woman he doesn't want her to own him.(Simon Boyle)

I've got a stomach now as well as a behind. And I mean - well, you can't pull it in both ways, can you? ... I've made it a rule to pull in my stomach and let my behind look after itself.
Agatha Christie
Image
Women observe subconsciously a thousand little details, without knowing they are doing so. Their subconscious mind adds these little things together - and they call the result intuition.
Agatha Christie
Image
I believe, Messieurs, in loyalty---to one's friends and one's family and one's caste.
Agatha Christie
Image
Best of an island is once you get there - you can't go any farther...you've come to the end of things.

Image
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.
Agatha Christie
Image
a great man always knows better than to explain unless an explanation is demanded. To rush into explanations and excuses is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
