Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
I always take abroad with me one really good soft pillow--to me it makes all the difference between comfort and misery.
Agatha Christie
I've always noticed that if you speak the truth in a rather silly way nobody believes you.
Agatha Christie
If we seek to keep the past alive, we end, I think, by distorting it.
Agatha Christie
Hate doesn't last. Love does.
Agatha Christie
She was a lucky woman who had established a happy knack of writing what quite a lot of people wanted to read.
Agatha Christie
With thought, all problems can be resolved.
