More quotes by Agatha Christie
Mr. Jesmond made a peculiar noise rather like a hen who has decided to lay an egg and then thought better of it.
Agatha Christie
Juliet singles out Romeo. Desdemona claims Othello. They have no doubts, the young, no fear, no pride.
Agatha Christie
It is really a hard life. Men will not be nice to you if you are not good-looking, and women will not be nice to you if you are.
Agatha Christie
You are the patient one, Mademoiselle,' said Poirot to Miss Debenham. She shrugged her shoulders slightly. 'What else can one do?' You are a philosopher, Mademoiselle.' That implies a detached attitude. I think my attitude is more selfish. I have learned to save myself useless emotion.
Agatha Christie
The out-of-date returns in due course as the picturesque.
Agatha Christie
Does the real thing ever have the perfection of a stage performance?
Agatha Christie
Desperate ills need desperate remedies.
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
It's no good starting out by thinking one is a heaven-born genius- some people are, but very few. No, one is a tradesman - a tradesman in a good honest trade. You must learn the technical skills, and then, within that trade, you can apply your own creative ideas, but you must submit them to the discipline of form.
Agatha Christie
When a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie
Youth is a failing only too easily outgrown.
Agatha Christie
Nurses - nurses, you'm all the same. Full of cheerfulness over other people's troubles.
Agatha Christie
Sitting here with one's knitting, one just sees the facts. -The Blood-Stained Pavement
Agatha Christie
Is there ever any particular spot where one can put one's finger and say, It all began that day, at such a time and such a place, with such an incident?
Agatha Christie
Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
Agatha Christie
The simplest explanation is always the most likely.
Agatha Christie
I believe, Messieurs, in loyalty---to one's friends and one's family and one's caste.
Agatha Christie
Oh, no, I'm not brave. When a thing is certain, there's nothing to be brave about. All you can do is to find your consolation.
Agatha Christie
I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness - to save oneself trouble.
Agatha Christie
Don't think. That is the wrong way to bring anything back. Let it go. Sooner or later it will flash into your mind.
Agatha Christie
