More quotes by Agatha Christie
Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master.
Agatha Christie
Fear is incomplete knowledge.
Agatha Christie
Poirot, I said. I have been thinking. An admirable exercise my friend. Continue it.
Agatha Christie
The human face is, after all, nothing more nor less than a mask.
Agatha Christie
It's what's in *yourself* that makes you happy or unhappy.
Agatha Christie
The steamship whose machinery is broken may be brought into port and made fast to the dock. She is safe, but not sound. Repairs may last a long time. Christ designs to make us both safe and sound. Justification gives the first - safety sanctification gives us the second - soundness.
Agatha Christie
I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming... suddenly you find - at the age of 50, say - that a whole new life has opened before you.
Agatha Christie
It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without. ~ Poirot
Agatha Christie
Desperate ills need desperate remedies.
Agatha Christie
Very few of us are what we seem.
Agatha Christie
I did not deceive you, mon ami. At most, I permitted you to deceive yourself.
Agatha Christie
You cannot mix up sentiment and reason.
Agatha Christie
Any woman can fool a man if she wants to and if he's in love with her.
Agatha Christie
A man doesn't wasnt to feel that a woman cares more for him than he cares for her. He doesn't want to feel owned, body and soul. It's that damned possessive attitude. This man is mine---he belongs to me! He wants to get away --- to get free. He wants to own his woman he doesn't want her to own him.(Simon Boyle)
Agatha Christie
I was thinking, that when my time comes, I should be sorry if the only plea I had to offer was that of justice. Because it might mean that only justice would be meted out to me.
Agatha Christie
Many homicidal lunatics are very quiet, unassuming people. Delightful fellows.
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
Courage is the resolution to face the unforeseen.
Agatha Christie
I always think loyalty's such a tiresome virtue.
Agatha Christie
You don't realize what fine fighting material there is in age. ... You show me any one who's lived to over seventy and you show me a fighter - some one who's got the will to live.
Agatha Christie
