*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 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detective_fiction
