If I ever see anyone who appears to think a lot of themselves and boasts unceasingly, I always know that there's a secret sense of inferiority somewhere. - Mr. Satterthwaite

People write and talk a lot of a 'woman's instinct.' I don't believe, Mr. Satterthwaite, that there is any such thing. There doesn't seem to be anything that warns girls against a certain type of man. Nothing in themselves, I mean. Their parents warn them, but that's no good—one doesn't believe. It seems dreadful to say so, but there is something attractive to a girl in being told anyone is a bad man. She thinks at once that her love will reform him.   -  Lady Mary 

I was taught that everyone knew the difference between right and wrong. But somehow—I don't always think that is so.   -  Lady Mary

The language may be different, but everywhere human nature is the same. - Hercule Poirot

But one cannot have a case as one would like to have it. One must take a case as it is. - Hercule Poirot

Women aren't usually cruel to men—unless it's some particular man—they're only cruel to other women. - Miss Wills

Hero-worship is a real and terrible danger to the young. Someday Egg will fall in love with a friend, and build her happiness upon rock.  -  Hercule Poirot
