In conversation, points arise! If a human being converses much, it is impossible for him to avoid the truth! (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie
Image
It is my experience that no one, in the course of conversation, can fail to give themselves away sooner or later. Everyone has an irresistible urge to talk about themselves.
Agatha Christie
Image
a lot of trouble has been caused by memoirs. Indiscreet revelations, that sort of thing. People who have been close as an oyster all their lives seem positively to relish causing trouble when they themselves shall be comfortably dead.
Agatha Christie
Image
We owe most of our great inventions and most of the achievements of genius to idleness either enforced or voluntary.
Agatha Christie
Image
Life itself is an unsolved mystery, said the clergyman gravely.
Agatha Christie
Image
But I know human nature, my friend, and I tell you that, suddenly confronted with the possibility of being tried for murder, the most innocent person will lose his head and do the most absurd things.
Agatha Christie
Image
A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
Agatha Christie
Image
One little Indian boy left all alone He went and hanged himself and then there were none.

Agatha Christie
Image
Many years ago, when I was once saying sadly to Max it was a pity I couldn't have taken up archaeology when I was a girl, so as to be more knowledgeable on the subject, he said, 'Don't you realize that at this moment you know more about prehistoric pottery than any woman in England?'

Achievement brings with it its own anticlimax.
Agatha Christie
Image
If you've had a happy childhood, nobody can take that away from you.
Agatha Christie
Image
Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
One knows so little. When one knows more it is too late.
Agatha Christie
Image
Never worry about what you say to a man. They're so conceited that they never believe you mean it if it's unflattering.
Agatha Christie
Image
Every man should have aunts. They illustrate the triumph of guess work over logic.
Agatha Christie
Image
The young people think the old people are fools -- but the old people know the young people are fools.
Agatha Christie

Everything has got its right size. When it is its right size and well run it's the tops.
