To all those who lead monotonous lives in the hope that they may experience at second hand the delights and dangers of adventure. [author's dedication]
Agatha Christie

Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.
Agatha Christie

A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
Agatha Christie
Image
Jealousy, you know, is usually not an affair of causes. It is much more-how shall I say?-fundamental than that. Based on the knowledge that one's love is not returned. And so one goes on waiting, watching, expecting...that the loved one will turn to someone else.
Agatha Christie
Image
To put it quite crudely ... the poor don't really know how the rich live, and the rich don't know how the poor live, and to find out is really enchanting to both of them.

Agatha Christie
Image

Agatha Christie
Image
A weak man in a corner is more dangerous than a strong man.
Agatha Christie
Image
marriage is an extraordinary thing - and I doubt if any outsider - even a child of the marriage - has the right to judge.
Agatha Christie
Image
Everything has got its right size. When it is its right size and well run it's the tops.
Agatha Christie
Image
I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties.
Agatha Christie
Image
If you confront anyone who has lied with the truth, he will usually admit it - often out of sheer surprise. It is only necessary to guess right to produce your effect.
Agatha Christie
Image
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.
