Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
We owe most of our great inventions and most of the achievements of genius to idleness either enforced or voluntary.
Agatha Christie
Image

Agatha Christie
Image

A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
Agatha Christie
Image
You are the patient one, Mademoiselle,' said Poirot to Miss Debenham. She shrugged her shoulders slightly. 'What else can one do?' You are a philosopher, Mademoiselle.' That implies a detached attitude. I think my attitude is more selfish. I have learned to save myself useless emotion.
Agatha Christie
Image
One of the saddest things in life, is the things one remembers.
Agatha Christie
Image
Youth is a failing only too easily outgrown.
Agatha Christie
Image
Elephants can remember, but we are human beings and mercifully human beings can forget.
Agatha Christie
Image
I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays and have things arranged for them that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas.
Agatha Christie
Image
Achievement brings with it its own anticlimax.
Agatha Christie
Image
the detective's highest talent lay in the gentle art of seeking favours under the guise of conferring them!

Hate doesn't last. Love does.
