More quotes by Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
From an early age I knew very strongly the lust to kill.
Agatha Christie
Men don't understand how their mannerisms can get on women's nerves so that you feel you just have to snap.
Agatha Christie
Surfing is like that. You are either vigorously cursing or else you are idiotically pleased with yourself.
Agatha Christie
The contemporary historian never writes such a true history as the historian of a later generation.
Agatha Christie
Youth is a failing only too easily outgrown.
Agatha Christie
You regard it as impossible that a sinner should be struck down by the wrath of God! I do not!
Agatha Christie
Be sure thy sin will find thee out.
