More quotes by Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
My remarks are, as always, apt, sound, and to the point. (Hercule Poirot)

Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
More children suffer from interference than from non-interference.
Agatha Christie
... it's always interesting when one doesn't see. If you don't see what a thing means, you must be looking at it wrong way round.
Agatha Christie
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
The urge to write one's autobiography, so I have been told, overtakes everyone sooner or later.
Agatha Christie
I admit, I said, that a second murder in a book often cheers things up. - Hastings
Agatha Christie
No, my friend, I am not drunk. I have just been to the dentist, and need not return for another six months! Is it not the most beautiful thought? --Poirot
Agatha Christie
A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
Agatha Christie
