Hate doesn't last. Love does.
Agatha Christie
Image
A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
Agatha Christie

The rottenness comes from within.
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
Image
Life itself is an unsolved mystery, said the clergyman gravely.
Agatha Christie

Achievement brings with it its own anticlimax.
Agatha Christie
Image
One must accept the fact that we have only one companion in this world, a companion who accompanies us from the cradle to the grave - our own self. Get on good terms with that companion - learn to live with yourself.
Agatha Christie
Image
It is deplorable...to remove all the romance - all the mystery!
Agatha Christie
Image
Very unfortunately, she had no husband. She had never had a husband, and therefore did not kill a husband.

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.

Desperate ills need desperate remedies.
Agatha Christie

But surely for everything you love you have to pay some price.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
Exactly! It is absurd - improbable - it cannot be. So I myself have said. And yet, my friend, there it is! One cannot escape from the facts.
Agatha Christie
Image
The things young women read nowadays and profess to enjoy positively frighten me.
Agatha Christie
Image
I am not mad. I am eccentric perhaps--at least certain people say so but as regards my profession. I am very much as one says, 'all there.
Agatha Christie
Image
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.
Agatha Christie
Image
Now I am old-fashioned. A woman, I consider, should be womanly. I have no patience with the modern neurotic girl who jazzes from morning to night, smokes like a chimney, and uses language which would make a billingsgate fishwoman blush!

The urge to write one's autobiography, so I have been told, overtakes everyone sooner or later.
