More quotes by Agatha Christie
Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.
Agatha Christie
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.
Agatha Christie
It's a mystery to me how anyone ever gets any nourishment in this place. They must eat their meals standing up by the window so as to be sure of not missing anything.
Agatha Christie
What they need is a little immorality in their lives. Then they wouldn't be so busy looking for it in other people's.
Agatha Christie
The out-of-date returns in due course as the picturesque.
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
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
To feel admiration for a man all through one's married life would, I think, be excessively tedious.
Agatha Christie
It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without. ~ Poirot
Agatha Christie
... the belief in a superstratum of human beings ... is the most evil of all beliefs. For when you say, 'I am not as other men' -- you have lost the two most valuable qualities we have ever tried to attain: -- humility and brotherhood.
Agatha Christie
You regard it as impossible that a sinner should be struck down by the wrath of God! I do not!
Agatha Christie
I have a certain experience of the way people tell lies.
Agatha Christie
I did not deceive you, mon ami. At most, I permitted you to deceive yourself.
Agatha Christie
It is completely unimportant. That is why it is so interesting.
Agatha Christie
Evil is not any superhuman, but it is HUMAN.
Agatha Christie
