More quotes by Agatha Christie
It's a mystery to me how anyone ever gets any nourishment in this place. They must eat their meals standing up by the window so as to be sure of not missing anything.
Agatha Christie
I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the “slow one” in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day.
Agatha Christie
One never quite allows for the moron in our midst.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
... the belief in a superstratum of human beings ... is the most evil of all beliefs. For when you say, 'I am not as other men' -- you have lost the two most valuable qualities we have ever tried to attain: -- humility and brotherhood.
Agatha Christie
There are many things that are unbelievable. Especially before breakfast, is it not? That is what one of your classics says. Six impossible things before breakfast.
Agatha Christie
There's nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation.
Agatha Christie
Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can't do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they've seen it often before.
Agatha Christie
When the sea goes down, there will come from the mainland boats and men. And they will find ten dead bodies and an unsolved problem on Indian Island.
Agatha Christie
You should employ your little grey cells.
Agatha Christie
I admit, I said, that a second murder in a book often cheers things up. - Hastings
Agatha Christie
Ideas are like everything else. They've got to be marketed.
Agatha Christie
I did not deceive you, mon ami. At most, I permitted you to deceive yourself.
Agatha Christie
