More quotes by Agatha Christie
With thought, all problems can be resolved.
Agatha Christie
It's no good starting out by thinking one is a heaven-born genius- some people are, but very few. No, one is a tradesman - a tradesman in a good honest trade. You must learn the technical skills, and then, within that trade, you can apply your own creative ideas, but you must submit them to the discipline of form.
Agatha Christie
Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.
Agatha Christie
We are the same people as we were at three, six, ten or twenty years old. More noticeably so, perhaps, at six or seven, because we were not pretending so much then.
Agatha Christie
Everybody always knows something, said Adam, even if it's something they don't know they know.
Agatha Christie
Money ... is always the great clue to what is happening in the world.
Agatha Christie
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
The first time you do a thing is always exciting.
Agatha Christie
If anyone is really determined to lend you a book, you never can get out of it!
Agatha Christie
Don't think. That is the wrong way to bring anything back. Let it go. Sooner or later it will flash into your mind.
Agatha Christie
Never tell all you know—not even to the person you know best.
Agatha Christie
Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.
Agatha Christie
the detective's highest talent lay in the gentle art of seeking favours under the guise of conferring them!
Agatha Christie
A man when he is making up to anybody can be cordial and gallant and full of little attentions and altogether charming. But when a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie
He laughs best who laughs at the end.
Agatha Christie
I suppose without curiosity a man would be a tortoise. Very comfortable life, a tortoise has.
Agatha Christie
Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody.
Agatha Christie
Any coincidencce is worth noticing. You can throw it away later if it is only a coincidence.
Agatha Christie
A man doesn't wasnt to feel that a woman cares more for him than he cares for her. He doesn't want to feel owned, body and soul. It's that damned possessive attitude. This man is mine---he belongs to me! He wants to get away --- to get free. He wants to own his woman he doesn't want her to own him.(Simon Boyle)
Agatha Christie
Speech ... is an invention of man's to prevent him from thinking.
Agatha Christie
