More quotes by Agatha Christie
My remarks are, as always, apt, sound, and to the point. (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie
It's so much nicer to be a secret and delightful sin to anybody than to be a feather in his cap.
Agatha Christie
When you find that people are not telling you the truth---look out!
Agatha Christie
Exactly! It is absurd - improbable - it cannot be. So I myself have said. And yet, my friend, there it is! One cannot escape from the facts.
Agatha Christie
I like to inquire into everything. Hercule Poirot is a good dog. The good dog follows the scent, and if, regrettably, there is no scent to follow, he noses around - seeking always something that is not very nice.
Agatha Christie
Everybody said, Follow your heart. I did, it got broken
Agatha Christie
I'm sorry, but I do hate this differentiation between the sexes. The modern girl has a thoroughly businesslike attitude to life! That sort of thing. It's not a bit true! Some girls are businesslike and some aren't. Some men are sentimental and muddle-headed, others are clear-headed and logical. There are just different types of brains.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
The whole thing was like a nine-month ocean voyage to which you never got acclimatized.
Agatha Christie
I am all that there is of the most real.
Agatha Christie
Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.
Agatha Christie
I have a certain experience of the way people tell lies.
Agatha Christie
Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.
Agatha Christie
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.
Agatha Christie
I have often had occasion to notice how, where a direct question would fail to elicit a response, a false assumption brings instant information in the form of a contradiction.
Agatha Christie
The past is the father of the present.
Agatha Christie
People should be interested in books, not their authors.
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
It had come about exactly in the way things happened in books.
Agatha Christie
