More quotes by Agatha Christie
Nurses - nurses, you'm all the same. Full of cheerfulness over other people's troubles.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
I always take abroad with me one really good soft pillow--to me it makes all the difference between comfort and misery.
Agatha Christie
Talk and tea is his specialty, said Giles. He has about five cups of tea a day. But he works splendidly when we are looking.
Agatha Christie
With method and logic one can accomplish anything.
Agatha Christie
Trains are wonderful.... To travel by train is to see nature and human beings, towns and churches and rivers, in fact, to see life.
Agatha Christie
Desperate ills need desperate remedies.
Agatha Christie
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them. [Witness for the Prosecution, also published in The Hound of Death and Other Stories.]
