Agatha Christie
The rottenness comes from within.
Agatha Christie
the detective's highest talent lay in the gentle art of seeking favours under the guise of conferring them!
Agatha Christie
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
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.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
The amount of missing girls I've had to trace and their family and their friends always say the same thing. 'She was a bright and affectionate disposition and had no men friends'. That's never true. It's unnatural. Girls ought to have men friends. If not, then there's something wrong about them.
Agatha Christie
You don't realize what fine fighting material there is in age. ... You show me any one who's lived to over seventy and you show me a fighter - some one who's got the will to live.
Agatha Christie
Fey...a Scotch word...It means the kind of exalted happiness that comes before disaster. You know--it's too good to be true.
Agatha Christie
It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without. ~ Poirot
Agatha Christie
Ideas are like everything else. They've got to be marketed.
Agatha Christie
I specialize in murders of quiet, domestic interest.
Agatha Christie
I can think of nothing more soul destroying in life than to persist in trying to do a thing you want desperately to do well, and to know that you are at the best second rate.
Agatha Christie
And yet, said Poirot, suppose an accident- Ah, no, my friend- From your point of view it would be regrettable, I agree. But nevertheless let us just for one moment suppose it. Then, perhaps, all these here are linked together - by death.
Agatha Christie
Very unfortunately, she had no husband. She had never had a husband, and therefore did not kill a husband.
Agatha Christie
