Agatha Christie
There are doubtless certain unworldly people who are indifferent to money. I myself have never met one.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Sitting here with one's knitting, one just sees the facts. -The Blood-Stained Pavement
Agatha Christie
The simplest explanation is always the most likely.
Agatha Christie
And yet, said Poirot, suppose an accident- Ah, no, my friend- From your point of view it would be regrettable, I agree. But nevertheless let us just for one moment suppose it. Then, perhaps, all these here are linked together - by death.
Agatha Christie
I don't know. I don't know at all. And that's what's frightening the life out of me. To have no idea.
Agatha Christie
I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming... suddenly you find - at the age of 50, say - that a whole new life has opened before you.
Agatha Christie
I am not mad. I am eccentric perhaps--at least certain people say so but as regards my profession. I am very much as one says, 'all there.
Agatha Christie
One does what one can, not what one cannot.
Agatha Christie
A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves
Agatha Christie
Liking is more important than loving. It lasts. I want what is between us to last, Luke. I don't want us just to love each other and marry and get tired of each other and then want to marry some one else.
Agatha Christie
