More quotes by Agatha Christie
There's too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will.
Agatha Christie
Of course I despise money when I haven't got any. It's the only dignified thing to do.
Agatha Christie
Evil never goes unpunished, Monsieur. But the punishment is sometimes secret.
Agatha Christie
But I know human nature, my friend, and I tell you that, suddenly confronted with the possibility of being tried for murder, the most innocent person will lose his head and do the most absurd things.
Agatha Christie
Everything must be taken into account. If the fact will not fit the theory---let the theory go.
Agatha Christie
Hasting - There are times when it is one's duty to assert oneself.
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
I'm going to marry him. And if he thinks he can get divorced and married every two or three years in the approved Hollywood fashion, well, he never made a bigger mistake in his life. He's going to marry and stick to me.
Agatha Christie
Love is not everything ... It is only when we are young that we think it is.
Agatha Christie
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story.
Agatha Christie
Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
Agatha Christie
Nothing, I believe, is so full of life under the microscope as a drop of water from a stagnant pool.
Agatha Christie
Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can't do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they've seen it often before.
Agatha Christie
The trouble with you and me, is that we don't live in the real world. We dream of fantastic things that may never happen.
Agatha Christie
I can't imagine why everybody is always so keen for authors to talk about writing. I should have thought it was an author's business to write, not talk.
Agatha Christie
One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie
You cannot mix up sentiment and reason.
Agatha Christie
There hung about her the restrained energy of a whiplash.
Agatha Christie
I married an archeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Agatha Christie
An appreciative listener is always stimulating.
Agatha Christie
