Agatha Christie
Image
Any medical man who predicts exactly when a patient will die, or exactly how long he will live, is bound to make a fool of himself. The human factor is always incalculable. The weak have often unexpected powers of resistance, the strong sometimes succumb.
Agatha Christie
Image
Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Image
It is clear that the books owned the shop rather than the other way about. Everywhere they had run wild and taken possession of their habitat, breeding and multiplying, and clearly lacking any strong hand to keep them down.
Agatha Christie
Image
The human mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to think for itself - and such thinking, remember, is original thinking and may have valuable results.
Agatha Christie
Image
There's nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation.
Agatha Christie
Image
Wonderful things, horses. Never know what they will do, or won't do.
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
The tragedy of life is that people do not change.
Agatha Christie
Image
There hung about her the restrained energy of a whiplash.
Agatha Christie
Image
People should be interested in books, not their authors.
Agatha Christie
Image
I've got an uncle myself. Nobody should be held responsible for their uncles. Nature's little throwbacks - that's how I look at it.
