More quotes by Agatha Christie
One place is very like another.
Agatha Christie
The rottenness comes from within.
Agatha Christie
Liking is more important than loving. It lasts. I want what is between us to last, Luke. I don't want us just to love each other and marry and get tired of each other and then want to marry some one else.
Agatha Christie
It's what's in *yourself* that makes you happy or unhappy.
Agatha Christie
Prisoners at the bar, have you anything to say in your defence?
Agatha Christie
The popular idea that a child forgets easily is not an accurate one. Many people go right through life in the grip of an idea which has been impressed on them in very tender years.
Agatha Christie
Nothing, I believe, is so full of life under the microscope as a drop of water from a stagnant pool.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
What they need is a little immorality in their lives. Then they wouldn't be so busy looking for it in other people's.
Agatha Christie
Many years ago, when I was once saying sadly to Max it was a pity I couldn't have taken up archaeology when I was a girl, so as to be more knowledgeable on the subject, he said, 'Don't you realize that at this moment you know more about prehistoric pottery than any woman in England?'
Agatha Christie
Hate doesn't last. Love does.
Agatha Christie
It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
Agatha Christie
Does the real thing ever have the perfection of a stage performance?
Agatha Christie
there is evil everywhere under the sun.
Agatha Christie
The human mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to think for itself - and such thinking, remember, is original thinking and may have valuable results.
Agatha Christie
