More quotes by Agatha Christie
At my time of life, one knows that the worst is usually true.
Agatha Christie
As you yourself have said, what other explanation can there be?' Poirot stared straight ahead of him. 'That is what I ask myself,' he said. 'That is what I never cease to ask myself.
Agatha Christie
Who are you? You don't belong to the police?' 'I am better than the police,' said Poirot. He said it without conscious arrogance. It was, to him, a simple statement of fact.
Agatha Christie
You have a tendency, Hastings, to prefer the least likely. That, no doubt, is from reading too many detective stories.
Agatha Christie
The human face is, after all, nothing more nor less than a mask.
Agatha Christie
Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
Agatha Christie
You don't realize what fine fighting material there is in age. ... You show me any one who's lived to over seventy and you show me a fighter - some one who's got the will to live.
Agatha Christie
Everything has got its right size. When it is its right size and well run it's the tops.
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
Downstairs in the lounge, by the third pillar from the left, there sits an old lady with a sweet, placid, spinsterish face and a mind that has plumbed the depths of human iniquity and taken it all as in the day's work....where crime is concerned, she's the goods.
Agatha Christie
The truth often does sound unconvincing.
Agatha Christie
I like to inquire into everything. Hercule Poirot is a good dog. The good dog follows the scent, and if, regrettably, there is no scent to follow, he noses around - seeking always something that is not very nice.
Agatha Christie
You regard it as impossible that a sinner should be struck down by the wrath of God! I do not!
Agatha Christie
Trains are wonderful.... To travel by train is to see nature and human beings, towns and churches and rivers, in fact, to see life.
Agatha Christie
Evil never goes unpunished, Monsieur. But the punishment is sometimes secret.
Agatha Christie
Love is not everything ... It is only when we are young that we think it is.
Agatha Christie
Fear is incomplete knowledge.
Agatha Christie
There is too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will. I must concede you the Devil. God doesn't really need to punish us, Miss Barton. We're so busy punishing ourselves.
Agatha Christie
And so could you know it if you would only use the brains the good God has given you. Sometimes I really am tempted to believe that by inadvertence, He passed you by.
Agatha Christie
fiction is founded on truth....unless things did happen,people couldn't think of them.
Agatha Christie
