Quote

Ah, but life is like that! It does not permit you to arrange and order it as you will. It will not permit you to escape emotion, to live by the intellect and by reason! You cannot say, 'I will feel so much and no more.' Life, Mr. Welman, whatever else it is, is not reasonable. [Hercule Poirot]

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,

A weak man in a corner is more dangerous than a strong man.
