Words, mademoiselle, are only the outer clothing of ideas.
Agatha Christie
Image
I've got a stomach now as well as a behind. And I mean - well, you can't pull it in both ways, can you? ... I've made it a rule to pull in my stomach and let my behind look after itself.

All I needed was a steady table and a typewriter...a marble-topped bedroom washstand table made a good place the dining-room table between meals was also suitable.
Agatha Christie
Image
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

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
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
Image
Books are a habit-forming drug.
Agatha Christie
Image
I do not argue with obstinate men. I act in spite of them.
Agatha Christie
Image
I like to inquire into everything. Hercule Poirot is a good dog. The good dog follows the scent, and if, regrettably, there is no scent to follow, he noses around - seeking always something that is not very nice.
Agatha Christie
Image
It's very inconvenient to be loved. Nearly everyone has found that out, sooner or later. The fewer people who love you the less you will have to suffer.
