Agatha Christie
I admit, I said, that a second murder in a book often cheers things up. - Hastings
Agatha Christie
I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
To feel admiration for a man all through one's married life would, I think, be excessively tedious.
Agatha Christie
No sign, so far, of anything sinister—but I live in hope.
Agatha Christie
One is alone when the last one who remembers is gone.
Agatha Christie
Sensationalism dies quickly, fear is long-lived.
Agatha Christie
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

Agatha Christie
Any woman can fool a man if she wants to and if he's in love with her.
Agatha Christie
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
To care passionately for another human creature brings always more sorrow than joy but at the same time, Elinor, one would not be without experience. Anyone who has never really loved has never really lived.
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
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!
