More quotes by Agatha Christie
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them. [Witness for the Prosecution, also published in The Hound of Death and Other Stories.]
Agatha Christie
It is my experience that no one, in the course of conversation, can fail to give themselves away sooner or later. Everyone has an irresistible urge to talk about themselves.
Agatha Christie
She was a lucky woman who had established a happy knack of writing what quite a lot of people wanted to read.
Agatha Christie
Any coincidencce is worth noticing. You can throw it away later if it is only a coincidence.
Agatha Christie
Sensationalism dies quickly, fear is long-lived.
Agatha Christie
Jealousy, you know, is usually not an affair of causes. It is much more-how shall I say?-fundamental than that. Based on the knowledge that one's love is not returned. And so one goes on waiting, watching, expecting...that the loved one will turn to someone else.
Agatha Christie
God bless my soul, woman, the more personal you are the better! This is a story of human beings - not dummies! Be personal - be prejudiced - be catty - be anything you please! Write the thing your own way. We can always prune out the bits that are libellous afterwards!
Agatha Christie
If we seek to keep the past alive, we end, I think, by distorting it.
Agatha Christie
Wonderful things, horses. Never know what they will do, or won't do.
Agatha Christie
I do not argue with obstinate men. I act in spite of them.
Agatha Christie
One of us in this very room is in fact the murderer.
Agatha Christie
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
The bereaved had never any doubt about their dear ones' wishes and those wishes usually squared with their own inclinations.
Agatha Christie
Three months seems to me quite a reasonable time to complete a book, if one can get right down to it.
Agatha Christie
One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.
Agatha Christie
With method and logic one can accomplish anything.
Agatha Christie
The truth often does sound unconvincing.
Agatha Christie
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
Who is there who has not felt a sudden startled pang at reliving an old experience or feeling an old emotion?
Agatha Christie
Of course I despise money when I haven't got any. It's the only dignified thing to do.
