Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.

Image
The tragedy of life is that people do not change.
Agatha Christie
Image
Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog. But if you read in the paper that by injecting certain glands scientists can alter your vital tissues and you'll develop froglike characteristics, well, everybody would believe that.

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.

An ugly voice repels me where an ugly face would not.

I'm sorry, but I do hate this differentiation between the sexes. The modern girl has a thoroughly businesslike attitude to life! That sort of thing. It's not a bit true! Some girls are businesslike and some aren't. Some men are sentimental and muddle-headed, others are clear-headed and logical. There are just different types of brains.

Agatha Christie
Image
Who is there who has not felt a sudden startled pang at reliving an old experience or feeling an old emotion?
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Image
Is there ever any particular spot where one can put one's finger and say, It all began that day, at such a time and such a place, with such an incident?
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
Life itself is an unsolved mystery, said the clergyman gravely.
Agatha Christie
Image
What an absurdity to go and bury oneself in South America, where they are always having revolutions.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
There hung about her the restrained energy of a whiplash.
Agatha Christie
Image
Everything has got its right size. When it is its right size and well run it's the tops.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
Everything must be taken into account. If the fact will not fit the theory---let the theory go.
Agatha Christie

The steamship whose machinery is broken may be brought into port and made fast to the dock. She is safe, but not sound. Repairs may last a long time. Christ designs to make us both safe and sound. Justification gives the first - safety sanctification gives us the second - soundness.
