More quotes by 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
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
It's so much nicer to be a secret and delightful sin to anybody than to be a feather in his cap.
Agatha Christie
You regard it as impossible that a sinner should be struck down by the wrath of God! I do not!
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
One little Indian boy left all alone He went and hanged himself and then there were none.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
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

Agatha Christie
Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.
Agatha Christie
The bereaved had never any doubt about their dear ones' wishes and those wishes usually squared with their own inclinations.
Agatha Christie
The point is that one's got an instinct to live. One doesn't live because one's reason assents to living. People who, as we say, 'would be better dead' don't want to die! People who apparently have everything to live for just let themselves fade out of life because they haven't got the energy to fight.
Agatha Christie
What good is money if it can't buy happiness?
Agatha Christie
What they need is a little immorality in their lives. Then they wouldn't be so busy looking for it in other people's.
Agatha Christie
I believe, Messieurs, in loyalty---to one's friends and one's family and one's caste.
Agatha Christie
there is evil everywhere under the sun.
Agatha Christie
