Best of an island is once you get there - you can't go any farther...you've come to the end of things.
Agatha Christie
I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the “slow one” in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Bitterness leads nowhere. It turns back on itself. It is the eternal cul-de-sac.

Agatha Christie
Beastly things, teeth. Give us trouble from the cradle to the grave.
Agatha Christie
If you confront anyone who has lied with the truth, he will usually admit it - often out of sheer surprise. It is only necessary to guess right to produce your effect.
Agatha Christie
a lot of trouble has been caused by memoirs. Indiscreet revelations, that sort of thing. People who have been close as an oyster all their lives seem positively to relish causing trouble when they themselves shall be comfortably dead.
Agatha Christie
To win a war is as disasterous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie
Prisoners at the bar, have you anything to say in your defence?
