More quotes by Agatha Christie
The rottenness comes from within.
Agatha Christie
The heart of a woman who loves will forgive many blows.
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
When the sea goes down, there will come from the mainland boats and men. And they will find ten dead bodies and an unsolved problem on Indian Island.
Agatha Christie
If you are to be Hercule Poirot, you must think of everything.
Agatha Christie
marriage is an extraordinary thing - and I doubt if any outsider - even a child of the marriage - has the right to judge.
Agatha Christie
We are the same people as we were at three, six, ten or twenty years old. More noticeably so, perhaps, at six or seven, because we were not pretending so much then.
Agatha Christie
He laughs best who laughs at the end.
Agatha Christie
Poirot: Do not allow Hate into your heart, for it will make a home there. Jackie: If Love cannot live there, Hate works just as well.
Agatha Christie
The things young women read nowadays and profess to enjoy positively frighten me.
Agatha Christie
Everybody is very much alike, really. But fortunately, perhaps, they don't realise it. - Miss Marple
Agatha Christie
One place is very like another.
Agatha Christie
There is no greater mistake in life than seeing things or hearing them at the wrong time.
Agatha Christie
The point is that one's got an instinct to live. One doesn't live because one's reason assents to living. People who, as we say, 'would be better dead' don't want to die! People who apparently have everything to live for just let themselves fade out of life because they haven't got the energy to fight.
Agatha Christie
I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties.
Agatha Christie
We owe most of our great inventions and most of the achievements of genius to idleness either enforced or voluntary.
Agatha Christie
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?'
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
The contemporary historian never writes such a true history as the historian of a later generation.
Agatha Christie
I have wanted . . . to commit a murder myself. I recognized this as the desire of the artist to express himself! . . . But-incongruous as it may seem to some-I was restrained and hampered by my innate sense of justice. The innocent must not suffer.
