As life goes on it becomes tiring to keep up the character you invented for yourself, and so you relapse into individuality and become more like yourself everyday.

More quotes by Agatha Christie
all women, without in the least meaning it, consider every man they meet as a possible husband for themselves or for their best friend.
Agatha Christie
If you confront anyone who has lied with the truth, he will usually admit it - often out of sheer surprise. It is only necessary to guess right to produce your effect.
Agatha Christie
too much safety is abhorrent to the nature of a human being.
Agatha Christie
Every murderer is probably somebody's old friend.
Agatha Christie
Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog. But if you read in the paper that by injecting certain glands scientists can alter your vital tissues and you'll develop froglike characteristics, well, everybody would believe that.
Agatha Christie
... nothing is so boring as devotion.
Agatha Christie
I didn't want to work. It was as simple as that. I distrusted work, disliked it. I thought it was a very bad thing that the human race had unfortunately invented for itself.
Agatha Christie
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
A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
Agatha Christie
It's not a man's working hours that are important--it's his leisure hours. That's the mistake we all make.
Agatha Christie
Juliet singles out Romeo. Desdemona claims Othello. They have no doubts, the young, no fear, no pride.
Agatha Christie
the detective's highest talent lay in the gentle art of seeking favours under the guise of conferring them!
Agatha Christie
Prisoners at the bar, have you anything to say in your defence?
Agatha Christie
A man when he is making up to anybody can be cordial and gallant and full of little attentions and altogether charming. But when a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.
Agatha Christie
There's nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation.
Agatha Christie
Money ... is always the great clue to what is happening in the world.
Agatha Christie
A man doesn't wasnt to feel that a woman cares more for him than he cares for her. He doesn't want to feel owned, body and soul. It's that damned possessive attitude. This man is mine---he belongs to me! He wants to get away --- to get free. He wants to own his woman he doesn't want her to own him.(Simon Boyle)
Agatha Christie
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.
Agatha Christie
Bottled, was he? Said Colonel Bantry, with an Englishman's sympathy for alcoholic excess. Oh, well, can't judge a fellow by what he does when he's drunk? When I was at Cambridge, I remember I put a certain utensil - well - well, nevermind.
