Love is not everything ... It is only when we are young that we think it is.
Agatha Christie
Image
Very few of us are what we seem.
Agatha Christie
Image
I'm sorry, but I do hate this differentiation between the sexes. The modern girl has a thoroughly businesslike attitude to life! That sort of thing. It's not a bit true! Some girls are businesslike and some aren't. Some men are sentimental and muddle-headed, others are clear-headed and logical. There are just different types of brains.
Agatha Christie
Image
Who are you? You don't belong to the police?' 'I am better than the police,' said Poirot. He said it without conscious arrogance. It was, to him, a simple statement of fact.

One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.
Agatha Christie

For in the long run, either through a lie, or through truth, people were bound to give themselves away.
Agatha Christie
Image
I didn't want to work. It was as simple as that. I distrusted work, disliked it. I thought it was a very bad thing that the human race had unfortunately invented for itself.

They tried to be too clever---and that was their undoing.
Agatha Christie

One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is, I think, to have a happy childhood.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
Every man should have aunts. They illustrate the triumph of guess work over logic.
Agatha Christie
Image
There hung about her the restrained energy of a whiplash.
Agatha Christie
Image
To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
You'll be glad too, when the end comes.
Agatha Christie
Image
Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can't do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they've seen it often before.
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.

Instinct is a marvelous thing. It can neither be explained nor ignored.
