More quotes by Agatha Christie
The steamship whose machinery is broken may be brought into port and made fast to the dock. She is safe, but not sound. Repairs may last a long time. Christ designs to make us both safe and sound. Justification gives the first - safety sanctification gives us the second - soundness.
Agatha Christie
I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness - to save oneself trouble.
Agatha Christie
The past is the father of the present.
Agatha Christie
I suppose without curiosity a man would be a tortoise. Very comfortable life, a tortoise has.
Agatha Christie
Evil is not something superhuman, it's something less than human.
Agatha Christie
Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
Agatha Christie
You'll be glad too, when the end comes.
Agatha Christie
One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is, I think, to have a happy childhood.
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
Liking is more important than loving. It lasts. I want what is between us to last, Luke. I don't want us just to love each other and marry and get tired of each other and then want to marry some one else.
Agatha Christie
At the small table, sitting very upright, was one of the ugliest old ladies he had ever seen. It was an ugliness of distinction - it fascinated rather than repelled.
Agatha Christie
Unless you are good at guessing, it is not much use being a detective.
Agatha Christie
In old days the public didn't really mind much about accuracy, but nowadays readers take it upon themselves to write to authors on every possible occasion, pointing out flaws.
Agatha Christie
you cannot give to people what they are incapable of receiving.
Agatha Christie
One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.
Agatha Christie
Very few of us are what we seem.
Agatha Christie
The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.
Agatha Christie
When a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie
You can only really get under anybody's skin if you are married to them.
Agatha Christie
If you place your head in a lion's mouth, then you cannot complain one day if he happens to bite it off.
Agatha Christie
