you cannot give to people what they are incapable of receiving.
Agatha Christie
Image
It is the quietest and meekest people who are often capable of the most sudden and unexpected violences for the reason that when their control does snap, it goes entirely. (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
Image
... obsessions are always dangerous.
Agatha Christie
Image
Now I am old-fashioned. A woman, I consider, should be womanly. I have no patience with the modern neurotic girl who jazzes from morning to night, smokes like a chimney, and uses language which would make a billingsgate fishwoman blush!
Agatha Christie
Image
Dogs are wise. They crawl away into a quiet corner and lick their wounds and do not rejoin the world until they are whole once more.
Agatha Christie

A man doesn't wasnt to feel that a woman cares more for him than he cares for her. He doesn't want to feel owned, body and soul. It's that damned possessive attitude. This man is mine---he belongs to me! He wants to get away --- to get free. He wants to own his woman he doesn't want her to own him.(Simon Boyle)

Agatha Christie
Image
Exactly! It is absurd - improbable - it cannot be. So I myself have said. And yet, my friend, there it is! One cannot escape from the facts.
Agatha Christie
Image
With thought, all problems can be resolved.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
There was a moment when I changed from an amateur to a professional. I assumed the burden of a profession, which is to write even when you don't want to, don't much like what you're writing, and aren't writing particularly well
Agatha Christie
Image
There hung about her the restrained energy of a whiplash.
Agatha Christie
Image
To every problem, there is a most simple solution.
Agatha Christie
Image
He laughs best who laughs at the end.
Agatha Christie
Image
Men don't understand how their mannerisms can get on women's nerves so that you feel you just have to snap.
