Image
That was what, ultimately, war did to you. It was not the physical dangers--the mines at sea, the bombs from the air, the crisp ping of a rifle bullet as you drove over a desert track. No, it was the spiritual danger of learning how much easier life was if you ceased to think.
Agatha Christie
Image
I learned ... that one can never go back, that one should not ever try to go back - that the essence of life is going forward. Life is really a one way street, isn't it?
Agatha Christie
Image
The happy people are failures because they are on such good terms with themselves they don't give a damn.
Agatha Christie
Image
Any woman can fool a man if she wants to and if he's in love with her.
Agatha Christie
Image
Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can't do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they've seen it often before.
Agatha Christie
Image
I've got a stomach now as well as a behind. And I mean - well, you can't pull it in both ways, can you? ... I've made it a rule to pull in my stomach and let my behind look after itself.

Agatha Christie
Image
Downstairs in the lounge, by the third pillar from the left, there sits an old lady with a sweet, placid, spinsterish face and a mind that has plumbed the depths of human iniquity and taken it all as in the day's work....where crime is concerned, she's the goods.

It's so much nicer to be a secret and delightful sin to anybody than to be a feather in his cap.
Agatha Christie
Image
there is evil everywhere under the sun.
Agatha Christie
Image
It is deplorable...to remove all the romance - all the mystery!
Agatha Christie
Image
Doctors can do almost anything nowadays, can't they, unless they kill you while they're trying to cure you.
Agatha Christie
Image
I like to inquire into everything. Hercule Poirot is a good dog. The good dog follows the scent, and if, regrettably, there is no scent to follow, he noses around - seeking always something that is not very nice.
Agatha Christie
Image
I always take abroad with me one really good soft pillow--to me it makes all the difference between comfort and misery.
Agatha Christie
Image
You can only really get under anybody's skin if you are married to them.
Agatha Christie
Image
The lure of the past came up to grab me. To see a dagger slowly appearing, with its gold glint, through the sand was romantic. The carefulness of lifting pots and objects from the soil filled me with a longing to be an archaeologist myself.
Agatha Christie
Image
... there are many to whom money has no personal appeal, but who can be tempted by the power it confers.
Agatha Christie
Image
Nothing, I believe, is so full of life under the microscope as a drop of water from a stagnant pool.

You want beauty,' said Hercules Poirot. 'Beauty at any price. For me, it is truth. I want always truth.
