... nothing is so boring as devotion.
Agatha Christie
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
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.
Agatha Christie
One must make one's own mistakes
Agatha Christie
I was thinking, that when my time comes, I should be sorry if the only plea I had to offer was that of justice. Because it might mean that only justice would be meted out to me.
Agatha Christie
If anyone is really determined to lend you a book, you never can get out of it!
Agatha Christie
Surfing is like that. You are either vigorously cursing or else you are idiotically pleased with yourself.
Agatha Christie
I'm sorry, but I do hate this differentiation between the sexes. The modern girl has a thoroughly businesslike attitude to life! That sort of thing. It's not a bit true! Some girls are businesslike and some aren't. Some men are sentimental and muddle-headed, others are clear-headed and logical. There are just different types of brains.
Agatha Christie
I'm going to marry him. And if he thinks he can get divorced and married every two or three years in the approved Hollywood fashion, well, he never made a bigger mistake in his life. He's going to marry and stick to me.
Agatha Christie
I've always noticed that if you speak the truth in a rather silly way nobody believes you.
Agatha Christie
Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master.
Agatha Christie
It's like all those quiet people, when they do lose their tempers they lose them with a vengeance.
Agatha Christie
Fear is incomplete knowledge.
Agatha Christie
The contemporary historian never writes such a true history as the historian of a later generation.
Agatha Christie
More children suffer from interference than from non-interference.
Agatha Christie
You regard it as impossible that a sinner should be struck down by the wrath of God! I do not!
Agatha Christie
how tedious is retirement! You cannot imagine to yourself the monotony with which day comes after day.
Agatha Christie
Real evidence is usually vague and unsatisfactory. It has to be examined---sifted. But here the whole thing is cut and dried. No, my friend, this evidence has been very cleverly manufactured---so cleverly that it has defeated its own ends.
Agatha Christie
When a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie
Very unfortunately, she had no husband. She had never had a husband, and therefore did not kill a husband.
Agatha Christie
