Agatha Christie
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all, I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
Agatha Christie lived from 1890 to 1976 in a small town on the southern coast of the UK. With dreams of becoming a writer, she was rejected six consecutive times before publishing her first novel. She then went on to become the best selling novelist of all time – it is said that she is only outsold by Shakespeare and the Bible.
