More quotes by Agatha Christie
But surely for everything you love you have to pay some price.
Agatha Christie
Look here, I said, people like to collect disasters.
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
Fey...a Scotch word...It means the kind of exalted happiness that comes before disaster. You know--it's too good to be true.
Agatha Christie
There is no detective in England equal to a spinster lady of uncertain age with plenty of time on her hands.
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
In my end is my beginning - that's what people are always saying. But what does it mean?
Agatha Christie
One of the saddest things in life, is the things one remembers.
Agatha Christie
Achievement brings with it its own anticlimax.
Agatha Christie
When a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie
Never tell all you know—not even to the person you know best.
Agatha Christie
... evil was, perhaps, necessarily always more impressive than good.
Agatha Christie
Poirot: Do not allow Hate into your heart, for it will make a home there. Jackie: If Love cannot live there, Hate works just as well.
Agatha Christie
What I feel is that if one has got to have a murder actually happening in one's house, one might as well enjoy it, if you know what I mean.
Agatha Christie
It's like all those quiet people, when they do lose their tempers they lose them with a vengeance.
Agatha Christie
I've got an uncle myself. Nobody should be held responsible for their uncles. Nature's little throwbacks - that's how I look at it.
Agatha Christie
And so could you know it if you would only use the brains the good God has given you. Sometimes I really am tempted to believe that by inadvertence, He passed you by.
Agatha Christie
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.
Agatha Christie
Surfing is like that. You are either vigorously cursing or else you are idiotically pleased with yourself.
Agatha Christie
If I were at any time to set out on a career of deceit, it would be of Miss Marple that I should be afraid.
Agatha Christie
