The contemporary historian never writes such a true history as the historian of a later generation.
Agatha Christie
Image
And if you cast down an idol, there's nothing left.
Agatha Christie
Image
Plots come to me at such odd moments, when I am walking along the street, or examining a hat shop… suddenly a splendid idea comes into my head.
Agatha Christie
Image
Juliet singles out Romeo. Desdemona claims Othello. They have no doubts, the young, no fear, no pride.
Agatha Christie
Image
I've always noticed that if you speak the truth in a rather silly way nobody believes you.
Agatha Christie
Image
Who is there who has not felt a sudden startled pang at reliving an old experience or feeling an old emotion?
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
I am all that there is of the most real.
Agatha Christie
Image
Sometimes I feel sure he is as mad as a hatter and then, just as he is at his maddest, I find there is a method in his madness.
Agatha Christie
Image
A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves
Agatha Christie
Image
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.

My remarks are, as always, apt, sound, and to the point. (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie
Image
I like to inquire into everything. Hercule Poirot is a good dog. The good dog follows the scent, and if, regrettably, there is no scent to follow, he noses around - seeking always something that is not very nice.
Agatha Christie
Image
I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations and suddenly find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about...It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.
Agatha Christie
Image
With thought, all problems can be resolved.
Agatha Christie
Image
There is no detective in England equal to a spinster lady of uncertain age with plenty of time on her hands.
Agatha Christie
Image
Nothing, I believe, is so full of life under the microscope as a drop of water from a stagnant pool.
Agatha Christie
Image
You regard it as impossible that a sinner should be struck down by the wrath of God! I do not!
Agatha Christie
Image
Love is not everything ... It is only when we are young that we think it is.
Agatha Christie
Image
Evil is not any superhuman, but it is HUMAN.
