Agatha Christie
It is odd how, when you have a secret belief of your own which you do not wish to acknowledge, the voicing of it by someone else will rouse you to a fury of denial.
Agatha Christie
To keep something wild is far more difficult than to preserve it.
Agatha Christie
Desperate ills need desperate remedies.
Agatha Christie
there is evil everywhere under the sun.
Agatha Christie
If you are to be Hercule Poirot, you must think of everything.
Agatha Christie
Does the real thing ever have the perfection of a stage performance?
Agatha Christie
... there are many to whom money has no personal appeal, but who can be tempted by the power it confers.
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
lawyers never go to law, do they? They know better.
Agatha Christie
Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.
Agatha Christie
The contemporary historian never writes such a true history as the historian of a later generation.
Agatha Christie
Everything has got its right size. When it is its right size and well run it's the tops.
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
I'm sure you have a theme: the theme of your life. You can embellish it or desecrate it, but it's your theme, and as long as you follow it, you will experience harmony and peace of mind.
Agatha Christie
The first time you do a thing is always exciting.
Agatha Christie
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
The human mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to think for itself - and such thinking, remember, is original thinking and may have valuable results.
Agatha Christie
a lot of trouble has been caused by memoirs. Indiscreet revelations, that sort of thing. People who have been close as an oyster all their lives seem positively to relish causing trouble when they themselves shall be comfortably dead.
Agatha Christie
I just woke up feeling happy this morning. You know those days when everything in the world seems right.
Agatha Christie
