A Caribbean Mystery ; A Pocket Full of Rye ; The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side ; They Do it with Mirrors Quotes

“Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.”

“Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog.

“Lie is more worth living, more full of interest when you are likely to lose it. It shouldn't be, perhaps, but it is.
