More quotes by Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
The supernatural is only the natural of which the laws are not yet understood.
Agatha Christie
the science of tomorrow is the supernatural of today.
Agatha Christie
The things young women read nowadays and profess to enjoy positively frighten me.
Agatha Christie
If only-if only, Hastings, you would part your hair in the middle instead of at the side! What a difference it would make to the symmetry of your appearance. And your moustache. If you must have a moustache, let it be a real moustache-a thing of beauty such as mine.
Agatha Christie
And if you cast down an idol, there's nothing left.
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 simplest explanation is always the most likely.
Agatha Christie
It's like all those quiet people, when they do lose their tempers they lose them with a vengeance.
Agatha Christie
And, of course, afterwards -- one always hears these things afterwards, so much better if one heard them before -- we found out that dozens of empty brandy bottles were taken out of the house every week!
Agatha Christie
A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves
Agatha Christie
A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
Agatha Christie
The human mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to think for itself - and such thinking, remember, is original thinking and may have valuable results.
Agatha Christie
It's not a man's working hours that are important--it's his leisure hours. That's the mistake we all make.
Agatha Christie
A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world.
Agatha Christie
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.
