Marriage is called all sorts of things, a haven, and a refuge, and a crowning glory, and a state of bondage, and lots more. But do you know what I think it is?' 'What?' 'A sport!' 'And a damned good sport too,' said Tommy. Agatha Christie
Most successes are unhappy. That's why they are successes - they have to reassure about themselves by achieving something that the world will notice. Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie quote: "Money, money, money! I think about money morning, noon and..."
Money, money, money! I think about money morning, noon and night! I dare say it's mercenary of me, but there it is Agatha Christie
Got on! Got on! It's not a question of getting on. That's the wrong view altogether. The Classics aren't a ladder leading to quick success. Agatha Christie
You've a pretty good nerve," said Ratchett. "Will twenty thousand dollars tempt you?"It will not."If you're holding out for more, you won't get it. I know what a thing's worth to me."I, also M. Ratchett."What's wrong with my proposition?"Poirot rose. "If you will forgive me for being personal - I do not like your face, M. Ratchett," he said. Agatha Christie
