In conversation, points arise! If a human being converses much, it is impossible for him to avoid the truth! (Hercule Poirot)

There are doubtless certain unworldly people who are indifferent to money. I myself have never met one.

I've a theory that one can always get anything one wants if one will pay the price. And do you know what the price is, nine times out of ten? Compromise.

Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can't do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they've seen it often before.

I've always noticed that if you speak the truth in a rather silly way nobody believes you.

These little grey cells. It is up to them.

A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
