More quotes by Agatha Christie
Liking is more important than loving. It lasts. I want what is between us to last, Luke. I don't want us just to love each other and marry and get tired of each other and then want to marry some one else.
Agatha Christie
The young people think the old people are fools -- but the old people know the young people are fools.
Agatha Christie
To count - really and truly to count - a woman must have goodness or brains.
Agatha Christie
Three months seems to me quite a reasonable time to complete a book, if one can get right down to it.
Agatha Christie
I did not deceive you, mon ami. At most, I permitted you to deceive yourself.
Agatha Christie
Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.
Agatha Christie
... it's always interesting when one doesn't see. If you don't see what a thing means, you must be looking at it wrong way round.
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
One must make one's own mistakes
Agatha Christie
I am not one to rely upon the expert procedure. It is the psychology I seek, not the fingerprint or the cigarette ash.
Agatha Christie
... obsessions are always dangerous.
Agatha Christie
To win a war is as disasterous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie
Dogs are wise. They crawl away into a quiet corner and lick their wounds and do not rejoin the world until they are whole once more.
Agatha Christie
I have always been so sure - too sure... But now I am very humble and I say like a little child: I do not know...
Agatha Christie
One does see so much evil in a village,' murmured Miss Marple in an explanatory voice.
Agatha Christie
I've got an uncle myself. Nobody should be held responsible for their uncles. Nature's little throwbacks - that's how I look at it.
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
A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves
Agatha Christie
if you ask me, nobody really likes people who are always doing their duty.
Agatha Christie
To keep something wild is far more difficult than to preserve it.
Agatha Christie
