More quotes by Agatha Christie
The out-of-date returns in due course as the picturesque.
Agatha Christie
The popular idea that a child forgets easily is not an accurate one. Many people go right through life in the grip of an idea which has been impressed on them in very tender years.
Agatha Christie
Authors were shy, unsociable creatures, atoning for their lack of social aptitude by inventing their own companions and conversations.
Agatha Christie
The human mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to think for itself - and such thinking, remember, is original thinking and may have valuable results.
Agatha Christie
One of the saddest things in life, is the things one remembers.
Agatha Christie
Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody.
Agatha Christie
too much safety is abhorrent to the nature of a human being.
Agatha Christie
Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can't do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they've seen it often before.
Agatha Christie
The things young women read nowadays and profess to enjoy positively frighten me.
Agatha Christie
The saddest thing in life and the hardest to live through, is the knowledge that there is someone you love very much whom you cannot save from suffering.
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
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
Of course I despise money when I haven't got any. It's the only dignified thing to do.
Agatha Christie
You can only really get under anybody's skin if you are married to them.
Agatha Christie
The bereaved had never any doubt about their dear ones' wishes and those wishes usually squared with their own inclinations.
Agatha Christie
I'm afraid of death... Yes, but that doesn't stop death coming.
Agatha Christie
There are more important things than finding the murderer. And justice is a fine word, but it is sometimes difficult to say exactly what one means by it. In my opinion, the important thing is to clear the innocent. - Hercule Poirot
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.
Agatha Christie
In my end is my beginning - that's what people are always saying. But what does it mean?
Agatha Christie
you cannot give to people what they are incapable of receiving.
Agatha Christie
