Agatha Christie
Image
Never go back to a place where you have been happy. Until you do it remains alive for you. If you go back it will be destroyed.
Agatha Christie
Image
Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master.
Agatha Christie
Image
What good is money if it can't buy happiness?
Agatha Christie
Image
... evil was, perhaps, necessarily always more impressive than good.
Agatha Christie
Image
But surely for everything you love you have to pay some price.
Agatha Christie
Image
We owe most of our great inventions and most of the achievements of genius to idleness either enforced or voluntary.
Agatha Christie
