The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.
Agatha Christie
Image
One of the oddest things in life, as we all know, is the way that when you have heard a thing mentioned, within twenty-four hours you nearly always come across it again.

Very few of us are what we seem.
Agatha Christie
