Agatha Christie
Things go entirely differently from the way you planned them.
Agatha Christie
If anyone is really determined to lend you a book, you never can get out of it!
Agatha Christie
One place is very like another.
Agatha Christie
At the small table, sitting very upright, was one of the ugliest old ladies he had ever seen. It was an ugliness of distinction - it fascinated rather than repelled.
Agatha Christie
Be sure thy sin will find thee out.
Agatha Christie
Poirot said placidly, “One does not, you know, employ merely the muscles. I do not need to bend and measure the footprints and pick up the cigarette ends and examine the bent blades of grass.

Agatha Christie
If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody.
Agatha Christie
I've got a stomach now as well as a behind. And I mean - well, you can't pull it in both ways, can you? ... I've made it a rule to pull in my stomach and let my behind look after itself.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves
Agatha Christie
These little grey cells. It is up to them.
Agatha Christie
It is my experience that no one, in the course of conversation, can fail to give themselves away sooner or later. Everyone has an irresistible urge to talk about themselves.
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
We are the same people as we were at three, six, ten or twenty years old. More noticeably so, perhaps, at six or seven, because we were not pretending so much then.
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
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.
