It's a mystery to me how anyone ever gets any nourishment in this place. They must eat their meals standing up by the window so as to be sure of not missing anything.
Agatha Christie

Until one looks back on one's own past one fails to realise what an extraordinary view of the world a child has.

I learned ... that one can never go back, that one should not ever try to go back - that the essence of life is going forward. Life is really a one way street, isn't it?
Agatha Christie

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.

Love is not everything ... It is only when we are young that we think it is.
Agatha Christie

The tragedy of life is that people do not change.
Agatha Christie
Image
No sign, so far, of anything sinister—but I live in hope.

Image
One does see so much evil in a village,' murmured Miss Marple in an explanatory voice.
Agatha Christie

It's what's in *yourself* that makes you happy or unhappy.
Agatha Christie
Image
Unless you are good at guessing, it is not much use being a detective.
Agatha Christie
Image
Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can't do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they've seen it often before.

In conversation, points arise! If a human being converses much, it is impossible for him to avoid the truth! (Hercule Poirot)

The best time to plan a book is while you're doing the dishes.

The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.
