Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie DBE (née Miller; 15 September 1890 – 12 January 1976) was a British crime writer of novels, short stories, and plays. She also wrote romances under the name Mary Westmacott, but she is best remembered for her 66 detective novels and more than 15 short story collections (especially those featuring Hercule Poirot or Miss Jane Marple), and her successful West End plays.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Christie is the best-selling novelist of all time. Her novels have sold roughly four billion copies, and her estate claims that her works rank third, after those of William Shakespeare and the Bible, as the most widely published books. According to Index Translationum, Christie is the most translated individual author, with only the collective corporate works of Walt Disney Productions surpassing her. Her books have been translated into at least 103 languages.
Agatha Christie published two autobiographies: a posthumous one covering childhood to old age; and another chronicling several seasons of archaeological excavation in Syria and Iraq with her second husband, archaeologist Max Mallowan. The latter was published in 1946 with the title, Come, Tell Me How You Live.
A proof of failure is right in front of me,
somebody else's happiness to make my knees weak
Acting like nothing ever happened
I guess nothing ever did
I could calm this storm,
but I'm gonna turn my head instead
I was out
Then I was up
And now I tripped and I'm falling again
I was gone
Then I was there
And now I tripped and I'm falling again
Down and out
Even as a loser it's too difficult to move on
This hope for something right is broken but not gone
Maybe if I would've ignored you and not bothered digging the hole
