More quotes by Agatha Christie
I live now on borrowed time, waiting in the anteroom for the summons that will inevitably come. And then - I go on to the next thing, whatever it is. One doesn't, luckily, have to bother about that.
Agatha Christie
marriage is an extraordinary thing - and I doubt if any outsider - even a child of the marriage - has the right to judge.
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
I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties.
Agatha Christie
Beastly things, teeth. Give us trouble from the cradle to the grave.
Agatha Christie
The things young women read nowadays and profess to enjoy positively frighten me.
Agatha Christie
I admit, I said, that a second murder in a book often cheers things up. - Hastings
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
Hasting - There are times when it is one's duty to assert oneself.
Agatha Christie
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.
Agatha Christie
Everybody is very much alike, really. But fortunately, perhaps, they don't realise it. - Miss Marple
Agatha Christie
A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
Agatha Christie
Every man should have aunts. They illustrate the triumph of guess work over logic.
Agatha Christie
If you confront anyone who has lied with the truth, he will usually admit it - often out of sheer surprise. It is only necessary to guess right to produce your effect.
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
You gave too much rein to your imagination. Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master. The simplest explanation is always the most likely.
Agatha Christie
One of the saddest things in life, is the things one remembers.
Agatha Christie
... the belief in a superstratum of human beings ... is the most evil of all beliefs. For when you say, 'I am not as other men' -- you have lost the two most valuable qualities we have ever tried to attain: -- humility and brotherhood.
Agatha Christie
Tea! Bless ordinary everyday afternoon tea!
Agatha Christie
how tedious is retirement! You cannot imagine to yourself the monotony with which day comes after day.
Agatha Christie
