More quotes by Agatha Christie
Youth is a failing only too easily outgrown.
Agatha Christie
The whole thing was like a nine-month ocean voyage to which you never got acclimatized.
Agatha Christie
One does what one can, not what one cannot.
Agatha Christie
Elephants can remember, but we are human beings and mercifully human beings can forget.
Agatha Christie
If anyone is really determined to lend you a book, you never can get out of it!
Agatha Christie
It is my experience that no one, in the course of conversation, can fail to give themselves away sooner or later. Everyone has an irresistible urge to talk about themselves.
Agatha Christie
More children suffer from interference than from non-interference.
Agatha Christie
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?
Agatha Christie
I am not mad. I am eccentric perhaps--at least certain people say so but as regards my profession. I am very much as one says, 'all there.
Agatha Christie
Everybody always knows something, said Adam, even if it's something they don't know they know.
Agatha Christie
I do not argue with obstinate men. I act in spite of them.
Agatha Christie
Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.
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
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.
Agatha Christie
And, of course, afterwards -- one always hears these things afterwards, so much better if one heard them before -- we found out that dozens of empty brandy bottles were taken out of the house every week!
Agatha Christie
I'm sorry, but I do hate this differentiation between the sexes. The modern girl has a thoroughly businesslike attitude to life! That sort of thing. It's not a bit true! Some girls are businesslike and some aren't. Some men are sentimental and muddle-headed, others are clear-headed and logical. There are just different types of brains.
Agatha Christie
One little Indian boy left all alone He went and hanged himself and then there were none.
Agatha Christie
It's like all those quiet people, when they do lose their tempers they lose them with a vengeance.
Agatha Christie
I continued to do arithmetic with my father, passing proudly through fractions to decimals. I eventually arrived at the point where so many cows ate so much grass, and tanks filled with water in so many hours. I found it quite enthralling.
Agatha Christie
I have a certain experience of the way people tell lies.
Agatha Christie
