Everyone likes talking about himself. - Hercule Poirot
Agatha Christie
Image
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)

People who apparently have everything to live for just let themselves fade out of life because they haven't got the energy to fight.

The human mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to think for itself - and such thinking, remember, is original thinking and may have valuable results.
Agatha Christie

Do you know my friend that each one of us is a dark mystery, a maze of conflicting passions and desire and aptitudes?

The lure of the past came up to grab me. To see a dagger slowly appearing, with its gold glint, through the sand was romantic. The carefulness of lifting pots and objects from the soil filled me with a longing to be an archaeologist myself.

If you are to be Hercule Poirot, you must think of everything.
