Agatha Christie

I made a body of work. They kept one line and built a personality around it.

The audience always wants the quote without the chapter.

Public memory edits aggressively.

Reading is work. Admiration is easier.

Which is why the legend is always shorter than the labor.

Suspicion improves any room with curtains.

Politeness has always been the sharpest weapon at dinner.

Exactly. Innocence rarely rehearses.

The guilty person is usually the one performing normality too hard.

Observation begins when everyone becomes slightly too polite.
