Liking is more important than loving. It lasts. I want what is between us to last, Luke. I don't want us just to love each other and marry and get tired of each other and then want to marry some one else.

People should be interested in books, not their authors.

Jealousy, you know, is usually not an affair of causes. It is much more-how shall I say?-fundamental than that. Based on the knowledge that one's love is not returned. And so one goes on waiting, watching, expecting...that the loved one will turn to someone else.

It's no good starting out by thinking one is a heaven-born genius- some people are, but very few. No, one is a tradesman - a tradesman in a good honest trade. You must learn the technical skills, and then, within that trade, you can apply your own creative ideas, but you must submit them to the discipline of form.

Agatha Christie
Image
I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations and suddenly find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about...It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.
Agatha Christie
Image
If you love, you will suffer, and if you do not love, you do not know the meaning of a Christian life.
Agatha Christie

The urge to write one's autobiography, so I have been told, overtakes everyone sooner or later.
Agatha Christie
Image
When a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie
Image
It's not a man's working hours that are important--it's his leisure hours. That's the mistake we all make.
Agatha Christie
Image
Trains are wonderful.... To travel by train is to see nature and human beings, towns and churches and rivers, in fact, to see life.

We owe most of our great inventions and most of the achievements of genius to idleness either enforced or voluntary.
