He was very much a man of moods, possibly owing to what is styled the artistic temperment. I have never seen, myself, why the possession of artistic ability should be supposed to excuse a man from a decent exercise of self-control.
Agatha Christie
Image
Until one looks back on one's own past one fails to realise what an extraordinary view of the world a child has.
Agatha Christie
Image
And if you cast down an idol, there's nothing left.

The out-of-date returns in due course as the picturesque.

I specialize in murders of quiet, domestic interest.

One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is, I think, to have a happy childhood.

Evil is not something superhuman, it's something less than human.

If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody.

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.

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?'

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.

Ideas are like everything else. They've got to be marketed.

No, my friend, I am not drunk. I have just been to the dentist, and need not return for another six months! Is it not the most beautiful thought? --Poirot

I can't imagine why everybody is always so keen for authors to talk about writing. I should have thought it was an author's business to write, not talk.

If you love, you will suffer, and if you do not love, you do not know the meaning of a Christian life.
Agatha Christie
Image
I don't know. I don't know at all. And that's what's frightening the life out of me. To have no idea.

You have a tendency, Hastings, to prefer the least likely. That, no doubt, is from reading too many detective stories.
Agatha Christie
Image
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.

What they need is a little immorality in their lives. Then they wouldn't be so busy looking for it in other people's.
