"...men, when they are in love, invariably manage to look like a somewhat sick sheep. If a girl is attracted to such a man she feels flattered by this appearance, and does not hold it against him; if she has no interest she dismisses him from her mind."
"I was puzzled...wondering what was the matter with him...I should have known by now that when a man looks like a sick sheep, completely bemused, stupid and unable to listen to what you say to him, he has, vulgarly, got it badly."
::Agatha Christie, An Autobiography
I just finished Agatha Christie's autobiography, and I thought it was great! She was a very interesting person and a good storyteller, even in her autobiography. There is a lot of controversy surrounding her, I'm discovering, but this is an engaging account of her life from her own perspective.
