It's a mystery to me how anyone ever gets any nourishment in this place. They must eat their meals standing up by the window so as to be sure of not missing anything.

More quotes by Agatha Christie
Any medical man who predicts exactly when a patient will die, or exactly how long he will live, is bound to make a fool of himself. The human factor is always incalculable. The weak have often unexpected powers of resistance, the strong sometimes succumb.
Agatha Christie
... there are many to whom money has no personal appeal, but who can be tempted by the power it confers.
Agatha Christie
Words are such uncertain things, they so often sound well but mean the opposite of what one thinks they do.
Agatha Christie
It's so much nicer to be a secret and delightful sin to anybody than to be a feather in his cap.
Agatha Christie
I like to inquire into everything. Hercule Poirot is a good dog. The good dog follows the scent, and if, regrettably, there is no scent to follow, he noses around - seeking always something that is not very nice.
Agatha Christie
Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.
Agatha Christie
You should employ your little grey cells.
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
If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody.
Agatha Christie
What's wrong with my proposition? Poirot rose. If you will forgive me for being personal-I do not like your face, M. Ratchett.
Agatha Christie
I admit, I said, that a second murder in a book often cheers things up. - Hastings
Agatha Christie
Oh, no, I'm not brave. When a thing is certain, there's nothing to be brave about. All you can do is to find your consolation.
Agatha Christie
It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without. ~ Poirot
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
Courage is the resolution to face the unforeseen.
Agatha Christie
To put it quite crudely ... the poor don't really know how the rich live, and the rich don't know how the poor live, and to find out is really enchanting to both of them.
Agatha Christie
Dogs are wise. They crawl away into a quiet corner and lick their wounds and do not rejoin the world until they are whole once more.
Agatha Christie
Writing is a great comfort to people like me, who are unsure of themselves and have trouble expressing themselves properly.
Agatha Christie
Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.
Agatha Christie
That is what I mean. A bath! The receptacle of porcelain, one turns the taps and fills it, one gets in, one gets out and ghoosh - ghoosh - ghoosh, the water goes down the waste pipe! M. Poirot are you quite mad? No, I am extremely sane.
