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
You'll be glad too, when the end comes.
Agatha Christie
Image
The lure of the past came up to grab me. To see a dagger slowly appearing, with its gold glint, through the sand was romantic. The carefulness of lifting pots and objects from the soil filled me with a longing to be an archaeologist myself.
Agatha Christie
Image
Evil is not something superhuman, it's something less than human.
Agatha Christie
Image
You should employ your little grey cells.
Agatha Christie
Image
But I know human nature, my friend, and I tell you that, suddenly confronted with the possibility of being tried for murder, the most innocent person will lose his head and do the most absurd things.
Agatha Christie
Image
If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody.
Agatha Christie

Plots come to me at such odd moments, when I am walking along the street, or examining a hat shop… suddenly a splendid idea comes into my head.
Agatha Christie
Image
Every man should have aunts. They illustrate the triumph of guess work over logic.

Agatha Christie
Image
I often wonder why the whole world is so prone to generalise. Generalisations are seldom if ever true and are usually utterly inaccurate.
Agatha Christie
Image
I live now on borrowed time, waiting in the anteroom for the summons that will inevitably come. And then - I go on to the next thing, whatever it is. One doesn't, luckily, have to bother about that.
Agatha Christie
Image

Agatha Christie
Image
People who can be very good can be very bad too.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
The point is that one's got an instinct to live. One doesn't live because one's reason assents to living. People who, as we say, 'would be better dead' don't want to die! People who apparently have everything to live for just let themselves fade out of life because they haven't got the energy to fight.
Agatha Christie
Image
A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves
Agatha Christie
Image
There is no greater mistake in life than seeing things or hearing them at the wrong time.
Agatha Christie
Image
I am not one to rely upon the expert procedure. It is the psychology I seek, not the fingerprint or the cigarette ash.
