Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays and have things arranged for them that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas.
Agatha Christie
the science of tomorrow is the supernatural of today.
Agatha Christie
Writing is a great comfort to people like me, who are unsure of themselves and have trouble expressing themselves properly.
Agatha Christie
Writers are diffident creatures -- they need encouragement.
Agatha Christie
Plots come to me at such odd moments, when I am walking along the street, or examining a hat shop… suddenly a splendid idea comes into my head.
Agatha Christie
Evil is not something superhuman, it's something less than human.
Agatha Christie
