Men have the best of this world. I hope that it will not always be so.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

“There is no greater mistake in life than seeing things or hearing them at the wrong time. Shakespeare is ruined for most people by having been made to learn it at school; you should see Shakespeare as it was written to be seen, played on the stage. There you can appreciate it quite young, long before you take in the beauty of the words and of the poetry.”
― by Agatha Christie from Agatha Christie: An Autobiography

“Since I am 81 years old, one does not have many, -what one might call-plans for the future. Like the rest of life, one accepts the future as it comes to you. After 75 one should perhaps consider oneself as staying in the anteroom of death,--but it can be a very pleasant anteroom, and one has lots of things to think of and remember in the time that remains before taking another step forward...." Agatha Christie, Letter Signed, to László Magyar, stating that her last book was called Nemesis, recounting her trip to Yugoslavia.

“I mean,” said Miss Marple, puckering her brow a little as she counted the stitches in her knitting, “that so many people seem to me not to be either bad or good, but simply, you know, very silly.”
