    Agatha Christie
    “As a matter of fact it wouldn’t be safe to tell any man the truth about his wife! Funnily enough, I’d trust most women with the truth about their husbands. Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.”
    ― Agatha Christie, Murder in Mesopotamia

    A.S. King
    “I felt a mix of wanting to kill him and wanting to kiss him at the same time.

True love includes an equal part of good and bad, but true sticks around and doesn't run off to Vegas with a podiatrist.”
