Jealousy, you know, is usually not an affair of causes. It is much more-how shall I say?-fundamental than that. Based on the knowledge that one's love is not returned. And so one goes on waiting, watching, expecting...that the loved one will turn to someone else.
Agatha Christie

Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.
Agatha Christie

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
Words are such uncertain things, they so often sound well but mean the opposite of what one thinks they do.
Agatha Christie
Image
There are some people who don't conform to the signals. An ordinary well-regulated locomotive slows down or pulls up when it sees the red light hoisted against it. Perhaps I was born color blind. When I see the red signal -- I can't help forging ahead. And in the end, you know, that spells disaster.

... nothing is so boring as devotion.
Agatha Christie
Image
Everybody is very much alike, really. But fortunately, perhaps, they don't realise it. - Miss Marple
Agatha Christie

There are questions that you don't ask because you're afraid of the answers to them.
Agatha Christie
Image
Where do one's fears come from? Where do they shape themselves? Where do they hide before coming out into the open?
Agatha Christie

Don't think. That is the wrong way to bring anything back. Let it go. Sooner or later it will flash into your mind.
