Quote by Agatha Christie
English (Source)
If someone thinks he says everything, he is inevitably selective. If I were to ask him to tell me what he did yesterday, he might say: "I got up at nine, I had breakfast at half past ten, coffee and scrambled eggs with bacon, then I went to my club" - and so on. He wouldn't say, for example, "I tore my nail and had to cut it. I asked for hot water to shave. I spilled a drop of coffee on the tablecloth. I brushed off my hat and put it on my head." We can't tell you everything, so we choose.

Ha valaki azt hiszi, mindent elmond, akkor is óhatatlanul válogat. Ha most arra kérném, mondja el, mit csinált tegnap, esetleg azt felelné: "Kilenckor keltem föl, fél tízkor reggeliztem, kávét és szalonnás rántottát, aztán elmentem a klubomba" - és így tovább. Nem mondaná el például: "Beszakítottam a körmömet, és le kellett vágnom. Meleg vizet kértem a borotválkozáshoz. Kilöttyentetettem az abroszra egy csepp kávét. Lekeféltem a kalapomat, és a fejemre tettem." Nem tudunk mindent elmondani, ezért válogatunk.
