More quotes by Agatha Christie
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Agatha Christie
I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the “slow one” in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day.
Agatha Christie
The point is that one's got an instinct to live. One doesn't live because one's reason assents to living. People who, as we say, 'would be better dead' don't want to die! People who apparently have everything to live for just let themselves fade out of life because they haven't got the energy to fight.
Agatha Christie
I can't imagine why everybody is always so keen for authors to talk about writing. I should have thought it was an author's business to write, not talk.
Agatha Christie
... obsessions are always dangerous.
Agatha Christie
Courage is the resolution to face the unforeseen.

Nurses - nurses, you'm all the same. Full of cheerfulness over other people's troubles.
Agatha Christie
What an absurdity to go and bury oneself in South America, where they are always having revolutions.
Agatha Christie
One of the oddest things in life, as we all know, is the way that when you have heard a thing mentioned, within twenty-four hours you nearly always come across it again.
Agatha Christie
I have a certain experience of the way people tell lies.
Agatha Christie
There is too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will. I must concede you the Devil. God doesn't really need to punish us, Miss Barton. We're so busy punishing ourselves.
Agatha Christie
Everybody always knows something, said Adam, even if it's something they don't know they know.
Agatha Christie
With thought, all problems can be resolved.
Agatha Christie
The young people think the old people are fools -- but the old people know the young people are fools.
Agatha Christie
I'm going to marry him. And if he thinks he can get divorced and married every two or three years in the approved Hollywood fashion, well, he never made a bigger mistake in his life. He's going to marry and stick to me.
Agatha Christie
Downstairs in the lounge, by the third pillar from the left, there sits an old lady with a sweet, placid, spinsterish face and a mind that has plumbed the depths of human iniquity and taken it all as in the day's work....where crime is concerned, she's the goods.
Agatha Christie
