Never worry about what you say to a man. They're so conceited that they never believe you mean it if it's unflattering.

More quotes by Agatha Christie
Things go entirely differently from the way you planned them.
Agatha Christie
Ideas are like everything else. They've got to be marketed.
Agatha Christie
When the sea goes down, there will come from the mainland boats and men. And they will find ten dead bodies and an unsolved problem on Indian Island.
Agatha Christie
It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
Agatha Christie
Truth, however bitter, can be accepted, and woven into a design for living.
Agatha Christie
Things never come when they are expected.
Agatha Christie
I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness - to save oneself trouble.
Agatha Christie
Everything has got its right size. When it is its right size and well run it's the tops.
Agatha Christie
Authors were shy, unsociable creatures, atoning for their lack of social aptitude by inventing their own companions and conversations.
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
The point is that one's got an instinct to live. One doesn't live because one's reason assents to living. People who, as we say, 'would be better dead' don't want to die! People who apparently have everything to live for just let themselves fade out of life because they haven't got the energy to fight.
Agatha Christie
I learned ... that one can never go back, that one should not ever try to go back - that the essence of life is going forward. Life is really a one way street, isn't it?
Agatha Christie
One knows so little. When one knows more it is too late.
Agatha Christie
Use that fluff of yours you call a brain.
Agatha Christie
The contemporary historian never writes such a true history as the historian of a later generation.
Agatha Christie
Oh, I'm not afraid of death! What have I got to live for after all? I suppose you believe it's very wrong to kill a person who has injured you-even if they've taken away everything you had in the world?
Agatha Christie
The urge to write one's autobiography, so I have been told, overtakes everyone sooner or later.
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
I have no pity for myself either. So let it be Veronal. But I wish Hercule Poirot had never retired from work and come here to grow vegetable marrows.
Agatha Christie
What I feel is that if one has got to have a murder actually happening in one's house, one might as well enjoy it, if you know what I mean.
