*English Wikiquote of the day for 15 September*
"To be part of something one doesn't in the least understand is, I think,
one of the most intriguing things about life. I like living. I have
sometimes been wildly despairing, 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 <https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie>, of
England, author of popular and award-winning works of detective fiction
