Agatha Christie
Image
Women observe subconsciously a thousand little details, without knowing they are doing so. Their subconscious mind adds these little things together - and they call the result intuition.
Agatha Christie
Image
marriage is an extraordinary thing - and I doubt if any outsider - even a child of the marriage - has the right to judge.
Agatha Christie
Image
But I know human nature, my friend, and I tell you that, suddenly confronted with the possibility of being tried for murder, the most innocent person will lose his head and do the most absurd things.
Agatha Christie

Surfing is like that. You are either vigorously cursing or else you are idiotically pleased with yourself.
Agatha Christie
Image
Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog. But if you read in the paper that by injecting certain glands scientists can alter your vital tissues and you'll develop froglike characteristics, well, everybody would believe that.
