Everyone likes talking about himself. - Hercule Poirot
Agatha Christie
Image
I often wonder why the whole world is so prone to generalise. Generalisations are seldom if ever true and are usually utterly inaccurate.
Agatha Christie
Image
That was what, ultimately, war did to you. It was not the physical dangers--the mines at sea, the bombs from the air, the crisp ping of a rifle bullet as you drove over a desert track. No, it was the spiritual danger of learning how much easier life was if you ceased to think.
Agatha Christie
Image
Nobody knows what another person is thinking. They may imagine they do, but they are nearly always wrong.
Agatha Christie
Image
The human face is, after all, nothing more nor less than a mask.

Agatha Christie
Image
Ah, but life is like that! It does not permit you to arrange and order it as you will. It will not permit you to escape emotion, to live by the intellect and by reason! You cannot say, 'I will feel so much and no more.' Life, Mr. Welman, whatever else it is, is not reasonable. [Hercule Poirot]
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
One knows so little. When one knows more it is too late.
Agatha Christie
Image
Evil is not something superhuman, it's something less than human.
Agatha Christie
Image
Unless you are good at guessing, it is not much use being a detective.
Agatha Christie
Image
There hung about her the restrained energy of a whiplash.
Agatha Christie
Image
I can think of nothing more soul destroying in life than to persist in trying to do a thing you want desperately to do well, and to know that you are at the best second rate.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
Everything has got its right size. When it is its right size and well run it's the tops.
