The best time for planning a book is while you're doing the dishes.
There is no greater mystery than the human heart.
The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.
I have often wondered how much of the world’s unhappiness is due to people being unable to say what they mean.
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problem just with potatoes.
“ The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.”
“ It is a matter of life and death, and I am not going to let it go.”
“ The best time for planning a book is while you're doing the dishes.”
“ I have sometimes been accused of writing too much.”
“ There is no greater mystery than the mystery of the human heart.”
“ Very few of us are what we seem.”
I have written 66 detective novels, but I have never written a detective story.
It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
There is no greater mystery than the mystery of the human heart.
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
I have often said that I would like to be a detective.
“ It is a good idea to be a little suspicious.”
“ It is a good idea to be a little bit suspicious.”
It is a good idea to be a little bit suspicious.
I have written 66 detective novels and a few plays.
An autobiography is an obituary in serial form.
I have sometimes been accused of being a little too clever.
