Agatha Christie
To win a war is as disasterous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie
... it's always interesting when one doesn't see. If you don't see what a thing means, you must be looking at it wrong way round.
Agatha Christie
There is too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will. I must concede you the Devil. God doesn't really need to punish us, Miss Barton. We're so busy punishing ourselves.
Agatha Christie
It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without. ~ Poirot
Agatha Christie
No sign, so far, of anything sinister—but I live in hope.
Agatha Christie
