More quotes by Agatha Christie
Elephants can remember, but we are human beings and mercifully human beings can forget.
Agatha Christie
At the small table, sitting very upright, was one of the ugliest old ladies he had ever seen. It was an ugliness of distinction - it fascinated rather than repelled.
Agatha Christie
People who can be very good can be very bad too.
Agatha Christie
There are many things that are unbelievable. Especially before breakfast, is it not? That is what one of your classics says. Six impossible things before breakfast.
Agatha Christie
... nothing is so boring as devotion.
Agatha Christie
Juliet singles out Romeo. Desdemona claims Othello. They have no doubts, the young, no fear, no pride.
Agatha Christie
The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.
Agatha Christie
Wonderful things, horses. Never know what they will do, or won't do.
Agatha Christie
What good is money if it can't buy happiness?
Agatha Christie
Plots come to me at such odd moments, when I am walking along the street, or examining a hat shop… suddenly a splendid idea comes into my head.
Agatha Christie
Words are such uncertain things, they so often sound well but mean the opposite of what one thinks they 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
Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.
Agatha Christie
The supernatural is only the natural of which the laws are not yet understood.
Agatha Christie
Bottled, was he? Said Colonel Bantry, with an Englishman's sympathy for alcoholic excess. Oh, well, can't judge a fellow by what he does when he's drunk? When I was at Cambridge, I remember I put a certain utensil - well - well, nevermind.
Agatha Christie
But I know human nature, my friend, and I tell you that, suddenly confronted with the possibility of being tried for murder, the most innocent person will lose his head and do the most absurd things.
Agatha Christie
It's a mystery to me how anyone ever gets any nourishment in this place. They must eat their meals standing up by the window so as to be sure of not missing anything.
Agatha Christie
Jealousy, you know, is usually not an affair of causes. It is much more-how shall I say?-fundamental than that. Based on the knowledge that one's love is not returned. And so one goes on waiting, watching, expecting...that the loved one will turn to someone else.
Agatha Christie
Most successes are unhappy. That's why they are successes - they have to reassure themselves about themselves by achieving something that the world will notice.
Agatha Christie
Don't think. That is the wrong way to bring anything back. Let it go. Sooner or later it will flash into your mind.
Agatha Christie
