Image
One knows so little. When one knows more it is too late.
Agatha Christie
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
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
Image
You have a tendency, Hastings, to prefer the least likely. That, no doubt, is from reading too many detective stories.
Agatha Christie
Image
Poirot, I said. I have been thinking. An admirable exercise my friend. Continue it.
Agatha Christie
Image
To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
Image
It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
Agatha Christie
Image
Do you know my friend that each one of us is a dark mystery, a maze of conflicting passions and desire and aptitudes?
Agatha Christie
Image
A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves
Agatha Christie
Image
I'm sorry, but I do hate this differentiation between the sexes. The modern girl has a thoroughly businesslike attitude to life! That sort of thing. It's not a bit true! Some girls are businesslike and some aren't. Some men are sentimental and muddle-headed, others are clear-headed and logical. There are just different types of brains.
Agatha Christie
Image
More children suffer from interference than from non-interference.
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
You gave too much rein to your imagination. Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master. The simplest explanation is always the most likely.
Agatha Christie
Image
Evil never goes unpunished, Monsieur. But the punishment is sometimes secret.
Agatha Christie
Image
I know there's a proverb which that says 'To err is human,' but a human error is nothing to what a computer can do if it tries.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
If you place your head in a lion's mouth, then you cannot complain one day if he happens to bite it off.
Agatha Christie
Image
Until one looks back on one's own past one fails to realise what an extraordinary view of the world a child has.
Agatha Christie
Image
I have a certain experience of the way people tell lies.
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.
