More quotes by Agatha Christie
There are many things that are unbelievable. Especially before breakfast, is it not? That is what one of your classics says. Six impossible things before breakfast.
Agatha Christie
One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie
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
One of the saddest things in life, is the things one remembers.
Agatha Christie
I always think loyalty's such a tiresome virtue.
Agatha Christie
It's no good starting out by thinking one is a heaven-born genius- some people are, but very few. No, one is a tradesman - a tradesman in a good honest trade. You must learn the technical skills, and then, within that trade, you can apply your own creative ideas, but you must submit them to the discipline of form.
Agatha Christie
The popular idea that a child forgets easily is not an accurate one. Many people go right through life in the grip of an idea which has been impressed on them in very tender years.
Agatha Christie
One knows so little. When one knows more it is too late.
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
There is something about conscious tact that is very irritating.
Agatha Christie
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!
Agatha Christie
What good is money if it can't buy happiness?
Agatha Christie
Many years ago, when I was once saying sadly to Max it was a pity I couldn't have taken up archaeology when I was a girl, so as to be more knowledgeable on the subject, he said, 'Don't you realize that at this moment you know more about prehistoric pottery than any woman in England?'
Agatha Christie
One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is, I think, to have a happy childhood.
Agatha Christie
When the fact doesn't meet the theory then let go the theory.
Agatha Christie
I often wonder why the whole world is so prone to generalise. Generalisations are seldom if ever true and are usually utterly inaccurate.
Agatha Christie
Any coincidencce is worth noticing. You can throw it away later if it is only a coincidence.
Agatha Christie
It's like all those quiet people, when they do lose their tempers they lose them with a vengeance.
Agatha Christie
a great man always knows better than to explain unless an explanation is demanded. To rush into explanations and excuses is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
Juliet singles out Romeo. Desdemona claims Othello. They have no doubts, the young, no fear, no pride.
Agatha Christie
