“Haunted was too cliché a word for this house, its deed now branded with her signature. Even ghosts would have abandoned the home years ago.”
― Jaime Jo Wright, The House on Foster Hill

“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

“Mon ami, let this be a lesson to you. You are a man. Behave, then, like a man! It is against Nature for a man to grovel. Women and Nature have almost exactly the same reactions! Remember it is better to take the largest plate within reach and fling it at a woman's head than it is to wriggle like a worm whenever she looks at you!”
― Agatha Christie, Murder in Mesopotamia

“—Leo, amar es un verbo, no un sustantivo. No es algo que se establezca de una vez para siempre, sino que evoluciona, crece, sube, baja, se hunde, como los ríos ocultos en el corazón de la tierra, que sin embargo nunca interrumpen su curso hacia el mar. A veces dejan la tierra seca, pero discurren por debajo, en las cavidades oscuras, o ascienden y brotan, fecundándolo todo.-Mamá de Leo”
― Alessandro d'Avenia, Bianca come il latte, rossa come il sangue
