Every man should have aunts. They illustrate the triumph of guess work over logic.
Agatha Christie
You regard it as impossible that a sinner should be struck down by the wrath of God! I do not!
Agatha Christie
She was a lucky woman who had established a happy knack of writing what quite a lot of people wanted to read.
Agatha Christie
A weak man in a corner is more dangerous than a strong man.
Agatha Christie
a lot of trouble has been caused by memoirs. Indiscreet revelations, that sort of thing. People who have been close as an oyster all their lives seem positively to relish causing trouble when they themselves shall be comfortably dead.
Agatha Christie
Exactly! It is absurd - improbable - it cannot be. So I myself have said. And yet, my friend, there it is! One cannot escape from the facts.
Agatha Christie
I did not deceive you, mon ami. At most, I permitted you to deceive yourself.
Agatha Christie
I often wonder why the whole world is so prone to generalise. Generalisations are seldom if ever true and are usually utterly inaccurate.
Agatha Christie
I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the “slow one” in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.
Agatha Christie
Instinct is a marvelous thing. It can neither be explained nor ignored.
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
It is curious - but you cannot make a revolution without honest men. ... Every revolution has had its honest men. They are soon disposed of afterwards.
Agatha Christie
Speech ... is an invention of man's to prevent him from thinking.
Agatha Christie
Prisoners at the bar, have you anything to say in your defence?
Agatha Christie
The happy people are failures because they are on such good terms with themselves they don't give a damn.
Agatha Christie
What I feel is that if one has got to have a murder actually happening in one's house, one might as well enjoy it, if you know what I mean.
Agatha Christie
One is alone when the last one who remembers is gone.
Agatha Christie
I admit, I said, that a second murder in a book often cheers things up. - Hastings
