Agatha Christie
There's nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation.
Agatha Christie
Talk and tea is his specialty, said Giles. He has about five cups of tea a day. But he works splendidly when we are looking.
Agatha Christie
Bottled, was he? Said Colonel Bantry, with an Englishman's sympathy for alcoholic excess. Oh, well, can't judge a fellow by what he does when he's drunk? When I was at Cambridge, I remember I put a certain utensil - well - well, nevermind.
Agatha Christie
To care passionately for another human creature brings always more sorrow than joy but at the same time, Elinor, one would not be without experience. Anyone who has never really loved has never really lived.
Agatha Christie
I am all that there is of the most real.
Agatha Christie
There is no detective in England equal to a spinster lady of uncertain age with plenty of time on her hands.

Agatha Christie
I didn't want to work. It was as simple as that. I distrusted work, disliked it. I thought it was a very bad thing that the human race had unfortunately invented for itself.
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
The past is the father of the present.
Agatha Christie
The first time you do a thing is always exciting.
Agatha Christie
Books are a habit-forming drug.
Agatha Christie
Do you know my friend that each one of us is a dark mystery, a maze of conflicting passions and desire and aptitudes?
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
