Image
Downstairs in the lounge, by the third pillar from the left, there sits an old lady with a sweet, placid, spinsterish face and a mind that has plumbed the depths of human iniquity and taken it all as in the day's work....where crime is concerned, she's the goods.
Agatha Christie
Image
Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.
Agatha Christie
Image
You cannot mix up sentiment and reason.
Agatha Christie
Image
fiction is founded on truth....unless things did happen,people couldn't think of them.
Agatha Christie
Image
I don't go in for being sorry for people. For one thing it's insulting. One is only sorry for people when they're sorry for themselves. Self-pity is one of the biggest stumbling blocks in the world today.
Agatha Christie
Image
For in the long run, either through a lie, or through truth, people were bound to give themselves away.
Agatha Christie
Image
Never go back to a place where you have been happy. Until you do it remains alive for you. If you go back it will be destroyed.

I married an archeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Agatha Christie
Image
There's no agony like [getting started]. You sit in a room, biting pencils, looking at a typewriter, walking about, or casting yourself down on a sofa, feeling you want to cry your head off.
Agatha Christie
Image
I've always noticed that if you speak the truth in a rather silly way nobody believes you.
Agatha Christie
Image

Agatha Christie
Image
One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie
Image
To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
Image
God bless my soul, woman, the more personal you are the better! This is a story of human beings - not dummies! Be personal - be prejudiced - be catty - be anything you please! Write the thing your own way. We can always prune out the bits that are libellous afterwards!
Agatha Christie
Image
Writing is a great comfort to people like me, who are unsure of themselves and have trouble expressing themselves properly.
Agatha Christie
Image
The supernatural is only the natural of which the laws are not yet understood.
Agatha Christie
Image
To count - really and truly to count - a woman must have goodness or brains.
Agatha Christie
Image
The saddest thing in life and the hardest to live through, is the knowledge that there is someone you love very much whom you cannot save from suffering.
Agatha Christie
Image
If you love, you will suffer, and if you do not love, you do not know the meaning of a Christian life.
Agatha Christie

Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.
