Agatha Christie
A man doesn't wasnt to feel that a woman cares more for him than he cares for her. He doesn't want to feel owned, body and soul. It's that damned possessive attitude. This man is mine---he belongs to me! He wants to get away --- to get free. He wants to own his woman he doesn't want her to own him.(Simon Boyle)

Agatha Christie
I'm sure you have a theme: the theme of your life. You can embellish it or desecrate it, but it's your theme, and as long as you follow it, you will experience harmony and peace of mind.
Agatha Christie
How often have I not heard a perfectly intelligent female says, in the tone of one clinching an argument, 'Edgar says -- ' And all the time you are perfectly aware that Edgar is a perfect fool.
Agatha Christie
One does what one can, not what one cannot.
Agatha Christie
There hung about her the restrained energy of a whiplash.
Agatha Christie
To every problem, there is a most simple solution.
Agatha Christie
I am all that there is of the most real.
