More quotes by Agatha Christie
It's what's in *yourself* that makes you happy or unhappy.
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
I have often had occasion to notice how, where a direct question would fail to elicit a response, a false assumption brings instant information in the form of a contradiction.
Agatha Christie
There's nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation.
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
Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
Agatha Christie
Plots come to me at such odd moments, when I am walking along the street, or examining a hat shop… suddenly a splendid idea comes into my head.
Agatha Christie
I continued to do arithmetic with my father, passing proudly through fractions to decimals. I eventually arrived at the point where so many cows ate so much grass, and tanks filled with water in so many hours. I found it quite enthralling.
Agatha Christie
Evil never goes unpunished, Monsieur. But the punishment is sometimes secret.
Agatha Christie
Everything must be taken into account. If the fact will not fit the theory---let the theory go.
Agatha Christie
He laughs best who laughs at the end.
Agatha Christie
There are many things that are unbelievable. Especially before breakfast, is it not? That is what one of your classics says. Six impossible things before breakfast.
Agatha Christie
When engaged in eating, the brain should be the servant of the stomach.
Agatha Christie
To win a war is as disasterous as to lose one.
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
Too much mercy... often resulted in further crimes which were fatal to innocent victims who need not have been victims if justice had been put first and mercy second.
Agatha Christie
Our weapon is our knowledge. But remember, it may be a knowledge we may not know that we possess.
Agatha Christie
Prisoners at the bar, have you anything to say in your defence?
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.
Agatha Christie
A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves
Agatha Christie
