More quotes by Agatha Christie
I'm sorry, but I do hate this differentiation between the sexes. The modern girl has a thoroughly businesslike attitude to life! That sort of thing. It's not a bit true! Some girls are businesslike and some aren't. Some men are sentimental and muddle-headed, others are clear-headed and logical. There are just different types of brains.
Agatha Christie
Of course I despise money when I haven't got any. It's the only dignified thing to do.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
In conversation, points arise! If a human being converses much, it is impossible for him to avoid the truth! (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie
if you ask me, nobody really likes people who are always doing their duty.
Agatha Christie
There is no greater mistake in life than seeing things or hearing them at the wrong time.
Agatha Christie
There's nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation.
Agatha Christie
Coffee in England always tastes like a chemistry experiment.
Agatha Christie
You know, Emily was a selfish old woman in her way. She was very generous, but she always wanted a return. She never let people forget what she had done for them - and, that way she missed love.
Agatha Christie
No innocent person ever has an alibi.
Agatha Christie
Who is there who has not felt a sudden startled pang at reliving an old experience or feeling an old emotion?
Agatha Christie
