These little grey cells. It is up to them.
Agatha Christie
Image
If you've had a happy childhood, nobody can take that away from you.
Agatha Christie
Image
The popular idea that a child forgets easily is not an accurate one. Many people go right through life in the grip of an idea which has been impressed on them in very tender years.
Agatha Christie
Image
People should be interested in books, not their authors.
Agatha Christie
Image

Agatha Christie
Image
Until one looks back on one's own past one fails to realise what an extraordinary view of the world a child has.

Agatha Christie
Image
One of us in this very room is in fact the murderer.
Agatha Christie
Image
To count - really and truly to count - a woman must have goodness or brains.
Agatha Christie
Image
Never worry about what you say to a man. They're so conceited that they never believe you mean it if it's unflattering.
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
I'm sure you have a theme: the theme of your life. You can embellish it or desecrate it, but it's your theme, and as long as you follow it, you will experience harmony and peace of mind.
