More quotes by Agatha Christie
I can think of nothing more soul destroying in life than to persist in trying to do a thing you want desperately to do well, and to know that you are at the best second rate.
Agatha Christie
That was what, ultimately, war did to you. It was not the physical dangers--the mines at sea, the bombs from the air, the crisp ping of a rifle bullet as you drove over a desert track. No, it was the spiritual danger of learning how much easier life was if you ceased to think.
Agatha Christie
Beastly things, teeth. Give us trouble from the cradle to the grave.
Agatha Christie
A man when he is making up to anybody can be cordial and gallant and full of little attentions and altogether charming. But when a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
One of us in this very room is in fact the murderer.
Agatha Christie
But surely for everything you love you have to pay some price.

Agatha Christie
Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog. But if you read in the paper that by injecting certain glands scientists can alter your vital tissues and you'll develop froglike characteristics, well, everybody would believe that.
Agatha Christie
For in the long run, either through a lie, or through truth, people were bound to give themselves away.
Agatha Christie
Achievement brings with it its own anticlimax.
Agatha Christie
Oh, no, I'm not brave. When a thing is certain, there's nothing to be brave about. All you can do is to find your consolation.
Agatha Christie
I have always admired the Esquimaux (Eskimos). One fine day a delicious meal is cooked for dear old mother, and then she goes walking away over the ice, and doesn't come back.
Agatha Christie
Does the real thing ever have the perfection of a stage performance?
Agatha Christie
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.
