More quotes by Agatha Christie
We are the same people as we were at three, six, ten or twenty years old. More noticeably so, perhaps, at six or seven, because we were not pretending so much then.
Agatha Christie
It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
Agatha Christie
Dogs are wise. They crawl away into a quiet corner and lick their wounds and do not rejoin the world until they are whole once more.
Agatha Christie
Life itself is an unsolved mystery, said the clergyman gravely.
Agatha Christie
a great man always knows better than to explain unless an explanation is demanded. To rush into explanations and excuses is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
Assumptions are dangerous things.
Agatha Christie
I always take abroad with me one really good soft pillow--to me it makes all the difference between comfort and misery.
Agatha Christie
lawyers never go to law, do they? They know better.
Agatha Christie
One of us in this very room is in fact the murderer.
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
fiction is founded on truth....unless things did happen,people couldn't think of them.
Agatha Christie
Mr. Jesmond made a peculiar noise rather like a hen who has decided to lay an egg and then thought better of it.
Agatha Christie
The past is the father of the present.
Agatha Christie
I have wanted . . . to commit a murder myself. I recognized this as the desire of the artist to express himself! . . . But-incongruous as it may seem to some-I was restrained and hampered by my innate sense of justice. The innocent must not suffer.
Agatha Christie
It is clear that the books owned the shop rather than the other way about. Everywhere they had run wild and taken possession of their habitat, breeding and multiplying, and clearly lacking any strong hand to keep them down.
Agatha Christie
That was what, ultimately, war did to you. It was not the physical dangers--the mines at sea, the bombs from the air, the crisp ping of a rifle bullet as you drove over a desert track. No, it was the spiritual danger of learning how much easier life was if you ceased to think.
Agatha Christie
Any medical man who predicts exactly when a patient will die, or exactly how long he will live, is bound to make a fool of himself. The human factor is always incalculable. The weak have often unexpected powers of resistance, the strong sometimes succumb.
Agatha Christie
It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without. ~ Poirot
Agatha Christie
I don't go in for being sorry for people. For one thing it's insulting. One is only sorry for people when they're sorry for themselves. Self-pity is one of the biggest stumbling blocks in the world today.
Agatha Christie
you cannot give to people what they are incapable of receiving.
Agatha Christie
