One does see so much evil in a village,' murmured Miss Marple in an explanatory voice.
Agatha Christie
Image
I can think of nothing more soul destroying in life than to persist in trying to do a thing you want desperately to do well, and to know that you are at the best second rate.
Agatha Christie
Image
I can't imagine why everybody is always so keen for authors to talk about writing. I should have thought it was an author's business to write, not talk.

I specialize in murders of quiet, domestic interest.

In the midst of life, we are in death.

Trains are wonderful.... To travel by train is to see nature and human beings, towns and churches and rivers, in fact, to see life.

It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without. ~ Poirot

Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog. But if you read in the paper that by injecting certain glands scientists can alter your vital tissues and you'll develop froglike characteristics, well, everybody would believe that.
Agatha Christie
Image
The popular idea that a child forgets easily is not an accurate one. Many people go right through life in the grip of an idea which has been impressed on them in very tender years.
Agatha Christie
Image
Poirot, I said. I have been thinking. An admirable exercise my friend. Continue it.
Agatha Christie
Image
For in the long run, either through a lie, or through truth, people were bound to give themselves away.
Agatha Christie
Image
The point is that one's got an instinct to live. One doesn't live because one's reason assents to living. People who, as we say, 'would be better dead' don't want to die! People who apparently have everything to live for just let themselves fade out of life because they haven't got the energy to fight.

The out-of-date returns in due course as the picturesque.

Writers are diffident creatures -- they need encouragement.

You'll be glad too, when the end comes.

I often wonder why the whole world is so prone to generalise. Generalisations are seldom if ever true and are usually utterly inaccurate.
