More quotes by Agatha Christie
And if you cast down an idol, there's nothing left.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
It's very inconvenient to be loved. Nearly everyone has found that out, sooner or later. The fewer people who love you the less you will have to suffer.
Agatha Christie
Until one looks back on one's own past one fails to realise what an extraordinary view of the world a child has.
Agatha Christie
Prisoners at the bar, have you anything to say in your defence?

It's not a man's working hours that are important--it's his leisure hours. That's the mistake we all make.
