More quotes by Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Look here, I said, people like to collect disasters.

Agatha Christie
More children suffer from interference than from non-interference.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
One must make one's own mistakes
Agatha Christie
At the small table, sitting very upright, was one of the ugliest old ladies he had ever seen. It was an ugliness of distinction - it fascinated rather than repelled.
Agatha Christie
There are doubtless certain unworldly people who are indifferent to money. I myself have never met one.
Agatha Christie
Words are such uncertain things, they so often sound well but mean the opposite of what one thinks they do.
Agatha Christie
It's what's in *yourself* that makes you happy or unhappy.
Agatha Christie
