More quotes by Agatha Christie
I never can stand seeing people pleased with themselves,” said Joanna. “It arouses all my worst instincts.
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
I often wonder why the whole world is so prone to generalise. Generalisations are seldom if ever true and are usually utterly inaccurate.
Agatha Christie
Evil is not something superhuman, it's something less than human.
Agatha Christie
The rottenness comes from within.
Agatha Christie
Love is not everything ... It is only when we are young that we think it is.
Agatha Christie
The things young women read nowadays and profess to enjoy positively frighten me.
Agatha Christie
Surfing is like that. You are either vigorously cursing or else you are idiotically pleased with yourself.
Agatha Christie
The truth often does sound unconvincing.
Agatha Christie
There are doubtless certain unworldly people who are indifferent to money. I myself have never met one.
Agatha Christie
It is the quietest and meekest people who are often capable of the most sudden and unexpected violences for the reason that when their control does snap, it goes entirely. (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie
It's not a man's working hours that are important--it's his leisure hours. That's the mistake we all make.
Agatha Christie
Wonderful things, horses. Never know what they will do, or won't do.
Agatha Christie
To count - really and truly to count - a woman must have goodness or brains.
Agatha Christie
Beastly things, teeth. Give us trouble from the cradle to the grave.
Agatha Christie
Hercule Poirot: I am an imbecile. I see only half of the picture. Miss Lemon: I don't even see that.
Agatha Christie
He was very much a man of moods, possibly owing to what is styled the artistic temperment. I have never seen, myself, why the possession of artistic ability should be supposed to excuse a man from a decent exercise of self-control.
Agatha Christie
A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
Agatha Christie
To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
And so could you know it if you would only use the brains the good God has given you. Sometimes I really am tempted to believe that by inadvertence, He passed you by.
Agatha Christie
