Quote

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.

Books are a habit-forming drug.
Agatha Christie

The young people think the old people are fools -- but the old people know the young people are fools.

Image
Juliet singles out Romeo. Desdemona claims Othello. They have no doubts, the young, no fear, no pride.
Agatha Christie
Image
Liking is more important than loving. It lasts. I want what is between us to last, Luke. I don't want us just to love each other and marry and get tired of each other and then want to marry some one else.

When the fact doesn't meet the theory then let go the theory.

Every man should have aunts. They illustrate the triumph of guess work over logic.
Agatha Christie
Image
... the belief in a superstratum of human beings ... is the most evil of all beliefs. For when you say, 'I am not as other men' -- you have lost the two most valuable qualities we have ever tried to attain: -- humility and brotherhood.
Agatha Christie
Image
A man when he is making up to anybody can be cordial and gallant and full of little attentions and altogether charming. But when a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie
Image
I don't go in for being sorry for people. For one thing it's insulting. One is only sorry for people when they're sorry for themselves. Self-pity is one of the biggest stumbling blocks in the world today.

Image
Many homicidal lunatics are very quiet, unassuming people. Delightful fellows.
Agatha Christie
Image
I often wonder why the whole world is so prone to generalise. Generalisations are seldom if ever true and are usually utterly inaccurate.

there is no fanatic like a religious fanatic.

The heart of a woman who loves will forgive many blows.
Agatha Christie

Oh, I'm not afraid of death! What have I got to live for after all? I suppose you believe it's very wrong to kill a person who has injured you-even if they've taken away everything you had in the world?

Evil is not any superhuman, but it is HUMAN.
Agatha Christie
Image
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?

Of course I despise money when I haven't got any. It's the only dignified thing to do.
