More quotes by Agatha Christie
how tedious is retirement! You cannot imagine to yourself the monotony with which day comes after day.
Agatha Christie
Time does not dispose of a question - it only presents it anew in a different guise.
Agatha Christie
The lure of the past came up to grab me. To see a dagger slowly appearing, with its gold glint, through the sand was romantic. The carefulness of lifting pots and objects from the soil filled me with a longing to be an archaeologist myself.
Agatha Christie
It is odd how, when you have a secret belief of your own which you do not wish to acknowledge, the voicing of it by someone else will rouse you to a fury of denial.
Agatha Christie
I am all that there is of the most real.
Agatha Christie
I always take abroad with me one really good soft pillow--to me it makes all the difference between comfort and misery.
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 place is very like another.
Agatha Christie
From an early age I knew very strongly the lust to kill.
Agatha Christie
Most successes are unhappy. That's why they are successes - they have to reassure themselves about themselves by achieving something that the world will notice.
Agatha Christie
Evil is not something superhuman, it's something less than human.
Agatha Christie
I was thinking, that when my time comes, I should be sorry if the only plea I had to offer was that of justice. Because it might mean that only justice would be meted out to me.
Agatha Christie
Wonderful things, horses. Never know what they will do, or won't do.
Agatha Christie
A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
Agatha Christie
But surely for everything you love you have to pay some price.
Agatha Christie
You have a tendency, Hastings, to prefer the least likely. That, no doubt, is from reading too many detective stories.
Agatha Christie
That is why most great love stories are tragedies.
Agatha Christie
Love is not everything ... It is only when we are young that we think it is.
Agatha Christie
Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody.
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
