More quotes by Agatha Christie
Assumptions are dangerous things.
Agatha Christie
Self-preservation's a man's first duty. And natives don't mind dying, you know. They don't feel about it as Europeans do.
Agatha Christie
No sign, so far, of anything sinister—but I live in hope.
Agatha Christie
The rottenness comes from within.
Agatha Christie
The whole thing was like a nine-month ocean voyage to which you never got acclimatized.
Agatha Christie
I did not deceive you, mon ami. At most, I permitted you to deceive yourself.
Agatha Christie
Bad temper is its own safety valve. He who can bark does not bite.
Agatha Christie
A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
Agatha Christie
There is too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will. I must concede you the Devil. God doesn't really need to punish us, Miss Barton. We're so busy punishing ourselves.
Agatha Christie
... evil was, perhaps, necessarily always more impressive than good.
Agatha Christie
Most successes are unhappy. That's why they are successes - they have to reassure themselves about themselves by achieving something that the world will notice.
Agatha Christie
The young people think the old people are fools -- but the old people know the young people are fools.
Agatha Christie
We owe most of our great inventions and most of the achievements of genius to idleness either enforced or voluntary.
Agatha Christie
That is what I mean. A bath! The receptacle of porcelain, one turns the taps and fills it, one gets in, one gets out and ghoosh - ghoosh - ghoosh, the water goes down the waste pipe! M. Poirot are you quite mad? No, I am extremely sane.
Agatha Christie
You have a tendency, Hastings, to prefer the least likely. That, no doubt, is from reading too many detective stories.
Agatha Christie
They tried to be too clever---and that was their undoing.
Agatha Christie
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
When you find that people are not telling you the truth---look out!
Agatha Christie
I just woke up feeling happy this morning. You know those days when everything in the world seems right.
Agatha Christie
Many years ago, when I was once saying sadly to Max it was a pity I couldn't have taken up archaeology when I was a girl, so as to be more knowledgeable on the subject, he said, 'Don't you realize that at this moment you know more about prehistoric pottery than any woman in England?'
