What you do not understand is that there are things that cannot be bought. - Agatha Christie

There is too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will. I must concede you the Devil. God doesn't really need to punish us, Miss Barton. We're so busy punishing ourselves.

I have no pity for myself either. So let it be Veronal. But I wish Hercule Poirot had never retired from work and come here to grow vegetable marrows.

I could think of nothing more insufferable than members of one's own gang dropping in full of sympathy and their own affairs.
