More quotes by Agatha Christie
Dogs are wise. They crawl away into a quiet corner and lick their wounds and do not rejoin the world until they are whole once more.
Agatha Christie
One knows so little. When one knows more it is too late.
Agatha Christie
But surely for everything you love you have to pay some price.
Agatha Christie
The supernatural is only the natural of which the laws are not yet understood.
Agatha Christie
An ugly voice repels me where an ugly face would not.
Agatha Christie
I often wonder why the whole world is so prone to generalise. Generalisations are seldom if ever true and are usually utterly inaccurate.
Agatha Christie
What an absurdity to go and bury oneself in South America, where they are always having revolutions.
Agatha Christie
If you confront anyone who has lied with the truth, he will usually admit it - often out of sheer surprise. It is only necessary to guess right to produce your effect.
Agatha Christie
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
Agatha Christie
We owe most of our great inventions and most of the achievements of genius to idleness either enforced or voluntary.
Agatha Christie
there is no fanatic like a religious fanatic.
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
To win a war is as disasterous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie
There's nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation.
Agatha Christie
Most successes are unhappy. That's why they are successes - they have to reassure themselves about themselves by achieving something that the world will notice.
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
Time is the best killer.
Agatha Christie
Elephants can remember, but we are human beings and mercifully human beings can forget.
Agatha Christie
If anyone is really determined to lend you a book, you never can get out of it!
Agatha Christie
I believe, Messieurs, in loyalty---to one's friends and one's family and one's caste.
Agatha Christie
