Everybody said, Follow your heart. I did, it got broken
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.

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.

Many years ago, when I was once saying sadly to Max it was a pity I couldn't have taken up archaeology when I was a girl, so as to be more knowledgeable on the subject, he said, 'Don't you realize that at this moment you know more about prehistoric pottery than any woman in England?'

Your not reliable. You wouldn't be at all a comfortable sort of person to live with.
Agatha Christie
Image
Oh, I'm not afraid of death! What have I got to live for after all? I suppose you believe it's very wrong to kill a person who has injured you-even if they've taken away everything you had in the world?
Agatha Christie
Image
What an absurdity to go and bury oneself in South America, where they are always having revolutions.
Agatha Christie
Image
In conversation, points arise! If a human being converses much, it is impossible for him to avoid the truth! (Hercule Poirot)

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

too much safety is abhorrent to the nature of a human being.

Evil is not any superhuman, but it is HUMAN.

In my experience, people who go about looking for trouble usually find it.

One does what one can, not what one cannot.
