More quotes by Agatha Christie
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
To keep something wild is far more difficult than to preserve it.
Agatha Christie
... nothing is so boring as devotion.
Agatha Christie
Achievement brings with it its own anticlimax.
Agatha Christie
What good is money if it can't buy happiness?
Agatha Christie
Liking is more important than loving. It lasts. I want what is between us to last, Luke. I don't want us just to love each other and marry and get tired of each other and then want to marry some one else.
Agatha Christie
A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
Agatha Christie
... obsessions are always dangerous.
Agatha Christie
One knows so little. When one knows more it is too late.
Agatha Christie
Oh, no, I'm not brave. When a thing is certain, there's nothing to be brave about. All you can do is to find your consolation.
Agatha Christie
If we seek to keep the past alive, we end, I think, by distorting it.
Agatha Christie
Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.
Agatha Christie
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Agatha Christie
The human face is, after all, nothing more nor less than a mask.
Agatha Christie
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
You agree - I'm sure you agree that beauty is the only thing worth living for.
Agatha Christie
From an early age I knew very strongly the lust to kill.
Agatha Christie
It is clear that the books owned the shop rather than the other way about. Everywhere they had run wild and taken possession of their habitat, breeding and multiplying, and clearly lacking any strong hand to keep them down.
Agatha Christie
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
To all those who lead monotonous lives in the hope that they may experience at second hand the delights and dangers of adventure. [author's dedication]
