More quotes by Agatha Christie
For in the long run, either through a lie, or through truth, people were bound to give themselves away.
Agatha Christie
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them. [Witness for the Prosecution, also published in The Hound of Death and Other Stories.]
Agatha Christie
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story.
Agatha Christie
I have always admired the Esquimaux (Eskimos). One fine day a delicious meal is cooked for dear old mother, and then she goes walking away over the ice, and doesn't come back.
Agatha Christie
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.
Agatha Christie
Very few of us are what we seem.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
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
Poirot, I said. I have been thinking. An admirable exercise my friend. Continue it.
Agatha Christie
Assumptions are dangerous things.
Agatha Christie
Dogs are wise. They crawl away into a quiet corner and lick their wounds and do not rejoin the world until they are whole once more.
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
I've a theory that one can always get anything one wants if one will pay the price. And do you know what the price is, nine times out of ten? Compromise.
Agatha Christie
Any medical man who predicts exactly when a patient will die, or exactly how long he will live, is bound to make a fool of himself. The human factor is always incalculable. The weak have often unexpected powers of resistance, the strong sometimes succumb.
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
