More quotes by Agatha Christie
Wonderful things, horses. Never know what they will do, or won't do.
Agatha Christie
Who are you? You don't belong to the police?' 'I am better than the police,' said Poirot. He said it without conscious arrogance. It was, to him, a simple statement of fact.
Agatha Christie
That is why most great love stories are tragedies.
Agatha Christie
... obsessions are always dangerous.
Agatha Christie
there is evil everywhere under the sun.
Agatha Christie
Authors were shy, unsociable creatures, atoning for their lack of social aptitude by inventing their own companions and conversations.
Agatha Christie
In conversation, points arise! If a human being converses much, it is impossible for him to avoid the truth! (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie
Writers are diffident creatures -- they need encouragement.
Agatha Christie
The popular idea that a child forgets easily is not an accurate one. Many people go right through life in the grip of an idea which has been impressed on them in very tender years.
Agatha Christie
At my time of life, one knows that the worst is usually true.
Agatha Christie
One must accept the fact that we have only one companion in this world, a companion who accompanies us from the cradle to the grave - our own self. Get on good terms with that companion - learn to live with yourself.
Agatha Christie
The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.
Agatha Christie
I have wanted . . . to commit a murder myself. I recognized this as the desire of the artist to express himself! . . . But-incongruous as it may seem to some-I was restrained and hampered by my innate sense of justice. The innocent must not suffer.
Agatha Christie
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
We owe most of our great inventions and most of the achievements of genius to idleness either enforced or voluntary.
Agatha Christie
One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.
Agatha Christie
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
But no artist, I now realize, can be satisfied with art alone. There is a natural craving for recognition which cannot be gain-said.
Agatha Christie
Until one looks back on one's own past one fails to realise what an extraordinary view of the world a child has.
Agatha Christie
Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
Agatha Christie
