More quotes by Agatha Christie
Liking is more important than loving. It lasts. I want what is between us to last, Luke. I don't want us just to love each other and marry and get tired of each other and then want to marry some one else.
Agatha Christie
There is no question of defence. I have always acted in accordance with the dictates of my conscience. I have nothing with which to reproach myself.
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
The out-of-date returns in due course as the picturesque.
Agatha Christie
And if you cast down an idol, there's nothing left.
Agatha Christie
It's so much nicer to be a secret and delightful sin to anybody than to be a feather in his cap.
Agatha Christie
I didn't want to work. It was as simple as that. I distrusted work, disliked it. I thought it was a very bad thing that the human race had unfortunately invented for itself.
Agatha Christie
I know there's a proverb which that says 'To err is human,' but a human error is nothing to what a computer can do if it tries.
Agatha Christie
Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master.
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.
Agatha Christie
a great man always knows better than to explain unless an explanation is demanded. To rush into explanations and excuses is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
Every murderer is probably somebody's old friend.
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
She was a lucky woman who had established a happy knack of writing what quite a lot of people wanted to read.
Agatha Christie
The lure of the past came up to grab me. To see a dagger slowly appearing, with its gold glint, through the sand was romantic. The carefulness of lifting pots and objects from the soil filled me with a longing to be an archaeologist myself.
Agatha Christie
There are some people who don't conform to the signals. An ordinary well-regulated locomotive slows down or pulls up when it sees the red light hoisted against it. Perhaps I was born color blind. When I see the red signal -- I can't help forging ahead. And in the end, you know, that spells disaster.
Agatha Christie
Bottled, was he? Said Colonel Bantry, with an Englishman's sympathy for alcoholic excess. Oh, well, can't judge a fellow by what he does when he's drunk? When I was at Cambridge, I remember I put a certain utensil - well - well, nevermind.
Agatha Christie
I have often had occasion to notice how, where a direct question would fail to elicit a response, a false assumption brings instant information in the form of a contradiction.
Agatha Christie
Be sure thy sin will find thee out.
Agatha Christie
What they need is a little immorality in their lives. Then they wouldn't be so busy looking for it in other people's.
