Agatha Christie
I learned ... that one can never go back, that one should not ever try to go back - that the essence of life is going forward. Life is really a one way street, isn't it?
Agatha Christie

When I see the red signal -- I can't help forging ahead. And in the end, you know, that spells disaster.
Agatha Christie
One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.
Agatha Christie
People who can be very good can be very bad too.
Agatha Christie
They tried to be too clever---and that was their undoing.
Agatha Christie
There's no agony like [getting started]. You sit in a room, biting pencils, looking at a typewriter, walking about, or casting yourself down on a sofa, feeling you want to cry your head off.
Agatha Christie
To feel admiration for a man all through one's married life would, I think, be excessively tedious.
Agatha Christie
In my end is my beginning - that's what people are always saying. But what does it mean?
Agatha Christie
One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie
I'm going to marry him. And if he thinks he can get divorced and married every two or three years in the approved Hollywood fashion, well, he never made a bigger mistake in his life. He's going to marry and stick to me.
Agatha Christie
The simplest explanation is always the most likely.
