Happy Agatha Day! This month’s quote talks about some characteristics that are just as important now as they were in Agatha Christie’s day.
Agatha Said:
“I think I admire loyalty almost more than any other virtue. Loyalty and courage are two of the finest things there are. Any kind of courage, physical or moral, arouses my utmost admiration. It is one of the most important virtues to bring to life. If you can bear to live at all, you can bear to live with courage. It is a must.”
Happy February! As this is the month in which we celebrate Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be especially appropriate if I shared an Agatha Christie quote about her husband. (Her second husband. The good one.)
Agatha Said:
“I thought then, and indeed have thought ever since, what a wonderful person Max is. He is so quiet, so sparing with words of commiseration. He does things. He does just the things you want done and that consoles you more than anything else could.”
Happy November! As I mentioned last month, I’ve been enjoying Agatha Christie’s autobiography. It’s everything I wanted it to be, and more. It feels like you’re sitting across from the lady herself, having a cup of tea as she tells you about her life. The prose is lyrical; the recollections are honest. It’s half autobiography, half memoir, and complete pleasure to read.
I’m so excited to amplify the voice of this incredible author by sharing select quotes from her life story. So let’s get right to our first quote, shall we?
Agatha Said:
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly despairing, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
