Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Image
I think, myself, that one's memories represent those moments which, insignificant as they may seem, nevertheless represent the inner self and oneself as most really oneself.
Agatha Christie
Image
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.

Does the real thing ever have the perfection of a stage performance?
Agatha Christie

Everybody always knows something, said Adam, even if it's something they don't know they know.
Agatha Christie

What they need is a little immorality in their lives. Then they wouldn't be so busy looking for it in other people's.
Agatha Christie
Image
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Agatha Christie
Image
Surfing is like that. You are either vigorously cursing or else you are idiotically pleased with yourself.
Agatha Christie
