Agatha Christie
I married an archeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Agatha Christie
When a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie
Real evidence is usually vague and unsatisfactory. It has to be examined---sifted. But here the whole thing is cut and dried. No, my friend, this evidence has been very cleverly manufactured---so cleverly that it has defeated its own ends.
Agatha Christie
There are doubtless certain unworldly people who are indifferent to money. I myself have never met one.
Agatha Christie
In my end is my beginning - that's what people are always saying. But what does it mean?
