Image
To care passionately for another human creature brings always more sorrow than joy but at the same time, Elinor, one would not be without experience. Anyone who has never really loved has never really lived.
Agatha Christie

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.

Do you know my friend that each one of us is a dark mystery, a maze of conflicting passions and desire and aptitudes?
Agatha Christie
Image
You have a tendency, Hastings, to prefer the least likely. That, no doubt, is from reading too many detective stories.

Self-preservation's a man's first duty. And natives don't mind dying, you know. They don't feel about it as Europeans do.
Agatha Christie

I am not one to rely upon the expert procedure. It is the psychology I seek, not the fingerprint or the cigarette ash.
Agatha Christie
Image
Best of an island is once you get there - you can't go any farther...you've come to the end of things.
Agatha Christie
Image
In my end is my beginning - that's what people are always saying. But what does it mean?
Agatha Christie
Image
Fey...a Scotch word...It means the kind of exalted happiness that comes before disaster. You know--it's too good to be true.
