More quotes by 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
Never go back to a place where you have been happy. Until you do it remains alive for you. If you go back it will be destroyed.
Agatha Christie
Life itself is an unsolved mystery, said the clergyman gravely.
Agatha Christie
Achievement brings with it its own anticlimax.
Agatha Christie
Hate doesn't last. Love does.
Agatha Christie
One of us in this very room is in fact the murderer.
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
You regard it as impossible that a sinner should be struck down by the wrath of God! I do not!
Agatha Christie
Those who never think of money need a great deal of it.
Agatha Christie
It is my experience that no one, in the course of conversation, can fail to give themselves away sooner or later. Everyone has an irresistible urge to talk about themselves.
Agatha Christie
The supernatural is only the natural of which the laws are not yet understood.
Agatha Christie
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
Agatha Christie
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
Who is there who has not felt a sudden startled pang at reliving an old experience or feeling an old emotion?
Agatha Christie
Everything that has existed, lingers in the Eternity.
Agatha Christie
But no artist, I now realize, can be satisfied with art alone. There is a natural craving for recognition which cannot be gain-said.
Agatha Christie
If only-if only, Hastings, you would part your hair in the middle instead of at the side! What a difference it would make to the symmetry of your appearance. And your moustache. If you must have a moustache, let it be a real moustache-a thing of beauty such as mine.
Agatha Christie
Coffee in England always tastes like a chemistry experiment.
Agatha Christie
I always think loyalty's such a tiresome virtue.
Agatha Christie
That was what, ultimately, war did to you. It was not the physical dangers--the mines at sea, the bombs from the air, the crisp ping of a rifle bullet as you drove over a desert track. No, it was the spiritual danger of learning how much easier life was if you ceased to think.
