Difficulties are made to be overcome ~ Miss Felicity Lemon, Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Plymouth Express
Agatha Christie
If we seek to keep the past alive, we end, I think, by distorting it.
Agatha Christie
Hate doesn't last. Love does.
Agatha Christie
The amount of missing girls I've had to trace and their family and their friends always say the same thing. 'She was a bright and affectionate disposition and had no men friends'. That's never true. It's unnatural. Girls ought to have men friends. If not, then there's something wrong about them.
Agatha Christie
Oh, I'm not afraid of death! What have I got to live for after all? I suppose you believe it's very wrong to kill a person who has injured you-even if they've taken away everything you had in the world?
Agatha Christie
What's wrong with my proposition? Poirot rose. If you will forgive me for being personal-I do not like your face, M. Ratchett.
Agatha Christie
Self-preservation's a man's first duty. And natives don't mind dying, you know. They don't feel about it as Europeans do.
Agatha Christie
The lure of the past came up to grab me. To see a dagger slowly appearing, with its gold glint, through the sand was romantic. The carefulness of lifting pots and objects from the soil filled me with a longing to be an archaeologist myself.
Agatha Christie
I continued to do arithmetic with my father, passing proudly through fractions to decimals. I eventually arrived at the point where so many cows ate so much grass, and tanks filled with water in so many hours. I found it quite enthralling.
Agatha Christie
I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays and have things arranged for them that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas.
Agatha Christie
I don't know. I don't know at all. And that's what's frightening the life out of me. To have no idea.
Agatha Christie
Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.
Agatha Christie
Best of an island is once you get there - you can't go any farther...you've come to the end of things.
Agatha Christie
But surely for everything you love you have to pay some price.
Agatha Christie
Who is there who has not felt a sudden startled pang at reliving an old experience or feeling an old emotion?
Agatha Christie
To put it quite crudely ... the poor don't really know how the rich live, and the rich don't know how the poor live, and to find out is really enchanting to both of them.
Agatha Christie
What I feel is that if one has got to have a murder actually happening in one's house, one might as well enjoy it, if you know what I mean.
Agatha Christie
You cannot mix up sentiment and reason.
Agatha Christie
These little grey cells. It is up to them.
Agatha Christie
There's too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will.
Agatha Christie
