More quotes by Agatha Christie
Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog. But if you read in the paper that by injecting certain glands scientists can alter your vital tissues and you'll develop froglike characteristics, well, everybody would believe that.
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
Nurses - nurses, you'm all the same. Full of cheerfulness over other people's troubles.
Agatha Christie
Sometimes I feel sure he is as mad as a hatter and then, just as he is at his maddest, I find there is a method in his madness.

Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
If you love, you will suffer, and if you do not love, you do not know the meaning of a Christian life.
Agatha Christie
Nothing, I believe, is so full of life under the microscope as a drop of water from a stagnant pool.
Agatha Christie
Writers are diffident creatures -- they need encouragement.
Agatha Christie
When engaged in eating, the brain should be the servant of the stomach.
Agatha Christie
Difficulties are made to be overcome ~ Miss Felicity Lemon, Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Plymouth Express
Agatha Christie
For in the long run, either through a lie, or through truth, people were bound to give themselves away.
Agatha Christie
And so could you know it if you would only use the brains the good God has given you. Sometimes I really am tempted to believe that by inadvertence, He passed you by.
Agatha Christie
Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
Agatha Christie
You have a tendency, Hastings, to prefer the least likely. That, no doubt, is from reading too many detective stories.
Agatha Christie
It is clear that the books owned the shop rather than the other way about. Everywhere they had run wild and taken possession of their habitat, breeding and multiplying, and clearly lacking any strong hand to keep them down.
