"How can a great author who said that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE say that. Ofcourse there are things in life which are impossible for more than just an individual. First thing about life, life is impossible to exist forever. And throughout his life, did he ever slammed a revolving door? Did he tried to shut the window which is frameless? Did he opened the locked door without handle. Did he drove a car without gas? Did he ever had a conversation with a person who is dead? Did he ever did a sky diving without parachute?
I don't think so because all things are impossible. I can't even meet the author face-to-face or do eye-to-eye contact because that is also impossible, he's dead."
— Amanullah Ashraf

— Agatha Christie (Death on the Nile)

"Lore is my favorite kind of story. Because it's not only historical, it's a lie everyone knows is a lie but tells anyway. I love that. Of course every story I tell is true. Completely true. Completely and utterly at least five-eighths of the way to being true, which is truer than any piece of lore and truer than most truths you'lll hear."
