Agatha Christie
How often have I not heard a perfectly intelligent female says, in the tone of one clinching an argument, 'Edgar says -- ' And all the time you are perfectly aware that Edgar is a perfect fool.
Agatha Christie
One place is very like another.
Agatha Christie
It's what's in *yourself* that makes you happy or unhappy.
Agatha Christie
