More quotes by Agatha Christie
The simplest explanation is always the most likely.
Agatha Christie
Nobody knows what another person is thinking. They may imagine they do, but they are nearly always wrong.
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
I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the “slow one” in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day.
Agatha Christie
Mr. Jesmond made a peculiar noise rather like a hen who has decided to lay an egg and then thought better of it.
Agatha Christie
I believe, Messieurs, in loyalty---to one's friends and one's family and one's caste.
Agatha Christie
A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves
Agatha Christie
If only-if only, Hastings, you would part your hair in the middle instead of at the side! What a difference it would make to the symmetry of your appearance. And your moustache. If you must have a moustache, let it be a real moustache-a thing of beauty such as mine.
Agatha Christie
too much safety is abhorrent to the nature of a human being.
Agatha Christie
The urge to write one's autobiography, so I have been told, overtakes everyone sooner or later.
Agatha Christie
Be sure thy sin will find thee out.
Agatha Christie
One does what one can, not what one cannot.
Agatha Christie
If we seek to keep the past alive, we end, I think, by distorting it.
Agatha Christie
You regard it as impossible that a sinner should be struck down by the wrath of God! I do not!
Agatha Christie
Juliet singles out Romeo. Desdemona claims Othello. They have no doubts, the young, no fear, no pride.
Agatha Christie
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
I can't imagine why everybody is always so keen for authors to talk about writing. I should have thought it was an author's business to write, not talk.
Agatha Christie
If you've had a happy childhood, nobody can take that away from you.
Agatha Christie
marriage is an extraordinary thing - and I doubt if any outsider - even a child of the marriage - has the right to judge.
Agatha Christie
The trouble with you and me, is that we don't live in the real world. We dream of fantastic things that may never happen.
Agatha Christie
