You should employ your little grey cells.
Agatha Christie
Image
And yet, said Poirot, suppose an accident- Ah, no, my friend- From your point of view it would be regrettable, I agree. But nevertheless let us just for one moment suppose it. Then, perhaps, all these here are linked together - by death.

Things never come when they are expected.
Agatha Christie
Image
You are the patient one, Mademoiselle,' said Poirot to Miss Debenham. She shrugged her shoulders slightly. 'What else can one do?' You are a philosopher, Mademoiselle.' That implies a detached attitude. I think my attitude is more selfish. I have learned to save myself useless emotion.
Agatha Christie
Image
The whole thing was like a nine-month ocean voyage to which you never got acclimatized.
Agatha Christie
Image
Poirot, I said. I have been thinking. An admirable exercise my friend. Continue it.

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
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.
Agatha Christie
Image
One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.
Agatha Christie
Image
You have a tendency, Hastings, to prefer the least likely. That, no doubt, is from reading too many detective stories.
Agatha Christie
Image
Everybody said, Follow your heart. I did, it got broken
Agatha Christie
Image
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story.
Agatha Christie
Image
Downstairs in the lounge, by the third pillar from the left, there sits an old lady with a sweet, placid, spinsterish face and a mind that has plumbed the depths of human iniquity and taken it all as in the day's work....where crime is concerned, she's the goods.
Agatha Christie
Image
These little grey cells. It is up to them.
Agatha Christie
Image
If you love, you will suffer, and if you do not love, you do not know the meaning of a Christian life.
Agatha Christie
Image
lawyers never go to law, do they? They know better.
