Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie (15 September 1890 – 12 January 1976) was an English writer of stories, mostly about crime.

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention -- invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

Simple: I don't think it's need that makes people think of new things. I think people think of new ways of doing things only because they are lazy and don't want to work hard. To save themselves from having to do work. [1]
