More quotes by Agatha Christie
The contemporary historian never writes such a true history as the historian of a later generation.
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
That was what, ultimately, war did to you. It was not the physical dangers--the mines at sea, the bombs from the air, the crisp ping of a rifle bullet as you drove over a desert track. No, it was the spiritual danger of learning how much easier life was if you ceased to think.
Agatha Christie
It is my experience that no one, in the course of conversation, can fail to give themselves away sooner or later. Everyone has an irresistible urge to talk about themselves.
Agatha Christie
I believe, Messieurs, in loyalty---to one's friends and one's family and one's caste.
Agatha Christie
The things young women read nowadays and profess to enjoy positively frighten me.
Agatha Christie
Men don't understand how their mannerisms can get on women's nerves so that you feel you just have to snap.
Agatha Christie
The past is the father of the present.
Agatha Christie
There's nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation.
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.
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
a great man always knows better than to explain unless an explanation is demanded. To rush into explanations and excuses is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
What an absurdity to go and bury oneself in South America, where they are always having revolutions.
Agatha Christie
There are doubtless certain unworldly people who are indifferent to money. I myself have never met one.
Agatha Christie
The steamship whose machinery is broken may be brought into port and made fast to the dock. She is safe, but not sound. Repairs may last a long time. Christ designs to make us both safe and sound. Justification gives the first - safety sanctification gives us the second - soundness.
Agatha Christie
You agree - I'm sure you agree that beauty is the only thing worth living for.
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
I always think loyalty's such a tiresome virtue.
Agatha Christie
Everybody said, Follow your heart. I did, it got broken
Agatha Christie
Never tell all you know—not even to the person you know best.
Agatha Christie
