Agatha Christie
You don't realize what fine fighting material there is in age. ... You show me any one who's lived to over seventy and you show me a fighter - some one who's got the will to live.

More children suffer from interference than from non-interference.
Agatha Christie
Do you know my friend that each one of us is a dark mystery, a maze of conflicting passions and desire and aptitudes?
Agatha Christie
You are the patient one, Mademoiselle,' said Poirot to Miss Debenham. She shrugged her shoulders slightly. 'What else can one do?' You are a philosopher, Mademoiselle.' That implies a detached attitude. I think my attitude is more selfish. I have learned to save myself useless emotion.
Agatha Christie
The truth often does sound unconvincing.
Agatha Christie
Bitterness leads nowhere. It turns back on itself. It is the eternal cul-de-sac.
Agatha Christie
Never tell all you know—not even to the person you know best.
