Agatha Christie
It is deplorable...to remove all the romance - all the mystery!
Agatha Christie
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Real evidence is usually vague and unsatisfactory. It has to be examined---sifted. But here the whole thing is cut and dried. No, my friend, this evidence has been very cleverly manufactured---so cleverly that it has defeated its own ends.
Agatha Christie
Authors were shy, unsociable creatures, atoning for their lack of social aptitude by inventing their own companions and conversations.
Agatha Christie
Youth is a failing only too easily outgrown.
Agatha Christie
The contemporary historian never writes such a true history as the historian of a later generation.
Agatha Christie
