More quotes by Agatha Christie

Image
You gave too much rein to your imagination. Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master. The simplest explanation is always the most likely.
Agatha Christie
Image
I'm sure you have a theme: the theme of your life. You can embellish it or desecrate it, but it's your theme, and as long as you follow it, you will experience harmony and peace of mind.
Agatha Christie
Image
Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.
Agatha Christie
Image
Juliet singles out Romeo. Desdemona claims Othello. They have no doubts, the young, no fear, no pride.
Agatha Christie
Image
a lot of trouble has been caused by memoirs. Indiscreet revelations, that sort of thing. People who have been close as an oyster all their lives seem positively to relish causing trouble when they themselves shall be comfortably dead.
Agatha Christie
Image
There's nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation.
Agatha Christie
Image
It's very inconvenient to be loved. Nearly everyone has found that out, sooner or later. The fewer people who love you the less you will have to suffer.
Agatha Christie
Image
It's so much nicer to be a secret and delightful sin to anybody than to be a feather in his cap.
Agatha Christie
Image
Hasting - There are times when it is one's duty to assert oneself.
Agatha Christie
Image
Our weapon is our knowledge. But remember, it may be a knowledge we may not know that we possess.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
The trouble with you and me, is that we don't live in the real world. We dream of fantastic things that may never happen.
Agatha Christie
Image
To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.
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.
Agatha Christie
Image
That is what I mean. A bath! The receptacle of porcelain, one turns the taps and fills it, one gets in, one gets out and ghoosh - ghoosh - ghoosh, the water goes down the waste pipe! M. Poirot are you quite mad? No, I am extremely sane.
Agatha Christie
Image
If you love, you will suffer, and if you do not love, you do not know the meaning of a Christian life.
Agatha Christie
Image
Everything must be taken into account. If the fact will not fit the theory---let the theory go.
Agatha Christie
Image
If you've had a happy childhood, nobody can take that away from you.
Agatha Christie
Image
There is nothing more thrilling in this world, I think, than having a child that is yours, and yet is mysteriously a stranger.
Agatha Christie
Image
I always take abroad with me one really good soft pillow--to me it makes all the difference between comfort and misery.
