Image
In my end is my beginning - that's what people are always saying. But what does it mean?
Agatha Christie

Everyone is a potential murderer-in everyone there arises from time to time thewish to kill-though not the will to kill.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Image
The contemporary historian never writes such a true history as the historian of a later generation.
Agatha Christie
Image
You know, Emily was a selfish old woman in her way. She was very generous, but she always wanted a return. She never let people forget what she had done for them - and, that way she missed love.
Agatha Christie
Image
From an early age I knew very strongly the lust to kill.
Agatha Christie
Image
The steamship whose machinery is broken may be brought into port and made fast to the dock. She is safe, but not sound. Repairs may last a long time. Christ designs to make us both safe and sound. Justification gives the first - safety sanctification gives us the second - soundness.
Agatha Christie
Image
Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
Agatha Christie
Image
There is nothing more thrilling in this world, I think, than having a child that is yours, and yet is mysteriously a stranger.
Agatha Christie
Image
Beastly things, teeth. Give us trouble from the cradle to the grave.
