Quotes 

• Elinor Carlisle : It is certainly hard when the accident of another person's return - another person's beauty suddenly destroys your love

• Elinor Carlisle : It is certainly hard when the accident of another person's return, of... another person's beauty... suddenly destroys your life.

  Hercule Poirot : D'accord. But then, a man who is swayed by such things is not likely to be constant, is that not so?

• Elinor Carlisle : Aunt Laura, tell me something -honestly. Do you think love is ever a happy thing?

  Mrs. Welman : Oh, Elinor. Perhaps it always brings more sorrow than joy. But who could do without it? Anyone who has never really loved hasn't lived.

• Mrs. Welman : And I'm so p-pleased you and Roddy are together. You do care for him?

  Elinor Carlisle : Of course I do.

  Mrs. Welman : Enough and not too much.

  Elinor Carlisle : What?

  Mrs. Welman : Oh, it's just something... we used to say. How you should never care too much for a man.
