I always take abroad with me one really good soft pillow--to me it makes all the difference between comfort and misery.
Agatha Christie
I'm going to marry him. And if he thinks he can get divorced and married every two or three years in the approved Hollywood fashion, well, he never made a bigger mistake in his life. He's going to marry and stick to me.
Agatha Christie
The first time you do a thing is always exciting.
Agatha Christie
One is alone when the last one who remembers is gone.
Agatha Christie
If you've had a happy childhood, nobody can take that away from you.
Agatha Christie
A weak man in a corner is more dangerous than a strong man.
