The first time you do a thing is always exciting.
Agatha Christie
Image
Exactly! It is absurd - improbable - it cannot be. So I myself have said. And yet, my friend, there it is! One cannot escape from the facts.
Agatha Christie
Image
Nothing, I believe, is so full of life under the microscope as a drop of water from a stagnant pool.
Agatha Christie

A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.

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.
