I'm afraid of death... Yes, but that doesn't stop death coming.
Agatha Christie
Image
Wonderful things, horses. Never know what they will do, or won't do.
Agatha Christie
Image
One must make one's own mistakes
Agatha Christie
Image
Women observe subconsciously a thousand little details, without knowing they are doing so. Their subconscious mind adds these little things together - and they call the result intuition.
Agatha Christie
Image
Now I am old-fashioned. A woman, I consider, should be womanly. I have no patience with the modern neurotic girl who jazzes from morning to night, smokes like a chimney, and uses language which would make a billingsgate fishwoman blush!
Agatha Christie
Image
The human face is, after all, nothing more nor less than a mask.
Agatha Christie
Image
There is something about conscious tact that is very irritating.
Agatha Christie
Image
Words, mademoiselle, are only the outer clothing of ideas.
Agatha Christie
Image
Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
There is nothing more thrilling in this world, I think, than having a child that is yours, and yet is mysteriously a stranger.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
My remarks are, as always, apt, sound, and to the point. (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie
Image
One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.
Agatha Christie
Image
Men don't understand how their mannerisms can get on women's nerves so that you feel you just have to snap.
Agatha Christie
Image
Nurses - nurses, you'm all the same. Full of cheerfulness over other people's troubles.
Agatha Christie
Image
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them. [Witness for the Prosecution, also published in The Hound of Death and Other Stories.]
Agatha Christie
Image
I didn't want to work. It was as simple as that. I distrusted work, disliked it. I thought it was a very bad thing that the human race had unfortunately invented for itself.
Agatha Christie
Image
God bless my soul, woman, the more personal you are the better! This is a story of human beings - not dummies! Be personal - be prejudiced - be catty - be anything you please! Write the thing your own way. We can always prune out the bits that are libellous afterwards!
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.
