More quotes by Agatha Christie
Everyone is a potential murderer-in everyone there arises from time to time thewish to kill-though not the will to kill.
Agatha Christie
If only-if only, Hastings, you would part your hair in the middle instead of at the side! What a difference it would make to the symmetry of your appearance. And your moustache. If you must have a moustache, let it be a real moustache-a thing of beauty such as mine.
Agatha Christie
Never worry about what you say to a man. They're so conceited that they never believe you mean it if it's unflattering.
Agatha Christie
Who is there who has not felt a sudden startled pang at reliving an old experience or feeling an old emotion?
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
The supernatural is only the natural of which the laws are not yet understood.
Agatha Christie
But no artist, I now realize, can be satisfied with art alone. There is a natural craving for recognition which cannot be gain-said.
Agatha Christie
The past is the father of the present.
Agatha Christie
Words, mademoiselle, are only the outer clothing of ideas.
Agatha Christie
And if you cast down an idol, there's nothing left.
Agatha Christie
I learned ... that one can never go back, that one should not ever try to go back - that the essence of life is going forward. Life is really a one way street, isn't it?
Agatha Christie
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
In the midst of life, we are in death.
Agatha Christie
I continued to do arithmetic with my father, passing proudly through fractions to decimals. I eventually arrived at the point where so many cows ate so much grass, and tanks filled with water in so many hours. I found it quite enthralling.
Agatha Christie
Bitterness leads nowhere. It turns back on itself. It is the eternal cul-de-sac.
Agatha Christie
The whole thing was like a nine-month ocean voyage to which you never got acclimatized.
Agatha Christie
I didn't want to work. It was as simple as that. I distrusted work, disliked it. I thought it was a very bad thing that the human race had unfortunately invented for itself.
Agatha Christie
What good is money if it can't buy happiness?
Agatha Christie
Everybody said, Follow your heart. I did, it got broken
Agatha Christie
I have wanted . . . to commit a murder myself. I recognized this as the desire of the artist to express himself! . . . But-incongruous as it may seem to some-I was restrained and hampered by my innate sense of justice. The innocent must not suffer.
Agatha Christie
