Image
You gave too much rein to your imagination. Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master. The simplest explanation is always the most likely.
Agatha Christie
Image
If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody.
Agatha Christie
Image
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.
Agatha Christie
Image
Use that fluff of yours you call a brain.
Agatha Christie
Image
What's wrong with my proposition? Poirot rose. If you will forgive me for being personal-I do not like your face, M. Ratchett.
Agatha Christie
Image
the detective's highest talent lay in the gentle art of seeking favours under the guise of conferring them!
Agatha Christie
Image
I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations and suddenly find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about...It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.
Agatha Christie
Image

Agatha Christie
Image
When you find that people are not telling you the truth---look out!
Agatha Christie
Image
One does what one can, not what one cannot.
Agatha Christie
Image
Elephants can remember, but we are human beings and mercifully human beings can forget.
Agatha Christie
Image
There is no question of defence. I have always acted in accordance with the dictates of my conscience. I have nothing with which to reproach myself.
Agatha Christie
Image
It is odd how, when you have a secret belief of your own which you do not wish to acknowledge, the voicing of it by someone else will rouse you to a fury of denial.
Agatha Christie
Image
Prisoners at the bar, have you anything to say in your defence?
Agatha Christie
Image
I have often had occasion to notice how, where a direct question would fail to elicit a response, a false assumption brings instant information in the form of a contradiction.
Agatha Christie
Image
a lot of trouble has been caused by memoirs. Indiscreet revelations, that sort of thing. People who have been close as an oyster all their lives seem positively to relish causing trouble when they themselves shall be comfortably dead.
Agatha Christie
Image
There is nothing more thrilling in this world, I think, than having a child that is yours, and yet is mysteriously a stranger.
Agatha Christie
Image
Mr. Jesmond made a peculiar noise rather like a hen who has decided to lay an egg and then thought better of it.
Agatha Christie
Image
If you are to be Hercule Poirot, you must think of everything.
Agatha Christie
Image
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.
