-Maurice Setter


Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward.
-Vernon Law

It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
-Agatha Christie

Pain is only bearable if we know it will end, not if we deny it exists.

Oooh, Agatha Christie! Always very quotable and one of my all-time faves. (I like her autobiographical writings and Mary Westmacott books even more than her whodunits.)
