More quotes by Agatha Christie
An ugly voice repels me where an ugly face would not.
Agatha Christie
There are some people who don't conform to the signals. An ordinary well-regulated locomotive slows down or pulls up when it sees the red light hoisted against it. Perhaps I was born color blind. When I see the red signal -- I can't help forging ahead. And in the end, you know, that spells disaster.
Agatha Christie
Does the real thing ever have the perfection of a stage performance?
Agatha Christie
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
Fey...a Scotch word...It means the kind of exalted happiness that comes before disaster. You know--it's too good to be true.
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
One does what one can, not what one cannot.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
The supernatural is only the natural of which the laws are not yet understood.
Agatha Christie
Truth, however bitter, can be accepted, and woven into a design for living.
Agatha Christie
I don't know. I don't know at all. And that's what's frightening the life out of me. To have no idea.
Agatha Christie
But surely for everything you love you have to pay some price.
Agatha Christie
I admit, I said, that a second murder in a book often cheers things up. - Hastings
Agatha Christie
Everyone is a potential murderer-in everyone there arises from time to time thewish to kill-though not the will to kill.
Agatha Christie
People who can be very good can be very bad too.
Agatha Christie
There is something about conscious tact that is very irritating.
Agatha Christie
Nobody knows what another person is thinking. They may imagine they do, but they are nearly always wrong.
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
