More quotes by Agatha Christie
The contemporary historian never writes such a true history as the historian of a later generation.
Agatha Christie
You know, Emily was a selfish old woman in her way. She was very generous, but she always wanted a return. She never let people forget what she had done for them - and, that way she missed love.
Agatha Christie
The amount of missing girls I've had to trace and their family and their friends always say the same thing. 'She was a bright and affectionate disposition and had no men friends'. That's never true. It's unnatural. Girls ought to have men friends. If not, then there's something wrong about them.
Agatha Christie
He laughs best who laughs at the end.
Agatha Christie
It is deplorable...to remove all the romance - all the mystery!
Agatha Christie
It's no good starting out by thinking one is a heaven-born genius- some people are, but very few. No, one is a tradesman - a tradesman in a good honest trade. You must learn the technical skills, and then, within that trade, you can apply your own creative ideas, but you must submit them to the discipline of form.
Agatha Christie
Now I am old-fashioned. A woman, I consider, should be womanly. I have no patience with the modern neurotic girl who jazzes from morning to night, smokes like a chimney, and uses language which would make a billingsgate fishwoman blush!
Agatha Christie
You should employ your little grey cells.
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
It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
Agatha Christie
Achievement brings with it its own anticlimax.
Agatha Christie
We are the same people as we were at three, six, ten or twenty years old. More noticeably so, perhaps, at six or seven, because we were not pretending so much then.
Agatha Christie
The things young women read nowadays and profess to enjoy positively frighten me.
Agatha Christie
It is the quietest and meekest people who are often capable of the most sudden and unexpected violences for the reason that when their control does snap, it goes entirely. (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie
Money ... is always the great clue to what is happening in the world.
Agatha Christie
It's so much nicer to be a secret and delightful sin to anybody than to be a feather in his cap.
Agatha Christie
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.
Agatha Christie
Doctors can do almost anything nowadays, can't they, unless they kill you while they're trying to cure you.
Agatha Christie
Everybody said, Follow your heart. I did, it got broken
Agatha Christie
I have wanted . . . to commit a murder myself. I recognized this as the desire of the artist to express himself! . . . But-incongruous as it may seem to some-I was restrained and hampered by my innate sense of justice. The innocent must not suffer.
Agatha Christie
