Quotations from the book

A Murder Is Announced

Agatha Christie

People with a grudge against the world are always dangerous. They seem to think life owes them something. I’ve known many who have suffered worse and been cut off from life much more… and they’ve managed to lead happy contented lives. It’s what’s in yourself that makes you happy or unhappy.

—Agatha Christie in A Murder Is Announced
