More quotes by Agatha Christie
I was thinking, that when my time comes, I should be sorry if the only plea I had to offer was that of justice. Because it might mean that only justice would be meted out to me.
Agatha Christie
The past is the father of the present.
Agatha Christie
I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the “slow one” in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day.
Agatha Christie
I often wonder why the whole world is so prone to generalise. Generalisations are seldom if ever true and are usually utterly inaccurate.
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
How often have I not heard a perfectly intelligent female says, in the tone of one clinching an argument, 'Edgar says -- ' And all the time you are perfectly aware that Edgar is a perfect fool.
Agatha Christie
Elephants can remember, but we are human beings and mercifully human beings can forget.
Agatha Christie
Everybody is very much alike, really. But fortunately, perhaps, they don't realise it. - Miss Marple
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Talk and tea is his specialty, said Giles. He has about five cups of tea a day. But he works splendidly when we are looking.
Agatha Christie
It's not a man's working hours that are important--it's his leisure hours. That's the mistake we all make.
Agatha Christie
Love is not everything ... It is only when we are young that we think it is.
Agatha Christie
An ugly voice repels me where an ugly face would not.
Agatha Christie
... obsessions are always dangerous.
Agatha Christie
Truth, however bitter, can be accepted, and woven into a design for living.
Agatha Christie
Authors were shy, unsociable creatures, atoning for their lack of social aptitude by inventing their own companions and conversations.
Agatha Christie
Mr. Jesmond made a peculiar noise rather like a hen who has decided to lay an egg and then thought better of it.
Agatha Christie
One does see so much evil in a village,' murmured Miss Marple in an explanatory voice.
Agatha Christie
One must accept the fact that we have only one companion in this world, a companion who accompanies us from the cradle to the grave - our own self. Get on good terms with that companion - learn to live with yourself.
Agatha Christie
I specialize in murders of quiet, domestic interest.
