More quotes by Agatha Christie
I often wonder why the whole world is so prone to generalise. Generalisations are seldom if ever true and are usually utterly inaccurate.
Agatha Christie
... nothing is so boring as devotion.
Agatha Christie
Everything has got its right size. When it is its right size and well run it's the tops.
Agatha Christie
Nurses - nurses, you'm all the same. Full of cheerfulness over other people's troubles.
Agatha Christie
I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the “slow one” in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day.
Agatha Christie
... there are many to whom money has no personal appeal, but who can be tempted by the power it confers.
Agatha Christie
In my experience, people who go about looking for trouble usually find it.
Agatha Christie
You don't realize what fine fighting material there is in age. ... You show me any one who's lived to over seventy and you show me a fighter - some one who's got the will to live.
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
A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world.
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
When engaged in eating, the brain should be the servant of the stomach.
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
To feel admiration for a man all through one's married life would, I think, be excessively tedious.
Agatha Christie
It's very inconvenient to be loved. Nearly everyone has found that out, sooner or later. The fewer people who love you the less you will have to suffer.
Agatha Christie
Mr. Jesmond made a peculiar noise rather like a hen who has decided to lay an egg and then thought better of it.
Agatha Christie
You should employ your little grey cells.
Agatha Christie
I have always been so sure - too sure... But now I am very humble and I say like a little child: I do not know...
Agatha Christie
It is clear that the books owned the shop rather than the other way about. Everywhere they had run wild and taken possession of their habitat, breeding and multiplying, and clearly lacking any strong hand to keep them down.
Agatha Christie
I've always noticed that if you speak the truth in a rather silly way nobody believes you.
Agatha Christie
