The Labors of Hercules (Hercule Poirot, #27) by Agatha Christie

“I don’t know . . . What is being mad, after all? Everyone is a little mad.” “It has been said so,” Poirot agreed cautiously. “It’s only when you begin thinking you’re a poached egg or something that they have to shut you up.”

Mary’s Quotes

“The pursuit of knowing was freedom to me, the right to declare your own curiosities and follow them through all manner of books. I was made for the library, not the classroom. The classroom was a jail of other people’s interests. The library was open, unending, free. Slowly, I was discovering myself.”
― Ta-Nehisi Coates
