Agatha Christie
Men don't understand how their mannerisms can get on women's nerves so that you feel you just have to snap.
Agatha Christie
God bless my soul, woman, the more personal you are the better! This is a story of human beings - not dummies! Be personal - be prejudiced - be catty - be anything you please! Write the thing your own way. We can always prune out the bits that are libellous afterwards!
Agatha Christie
An ugly voice repels me where an ugly face would not.
