More quotes by Agatha Christie
fiction is founded on truth....unless things did happen,people couldn't think of them.
Agatha Christie
a lot of trouble has been caused by memoirs. Indiscreet revelations, that sort of thing. People who have been close as an oyster all their lives seem positively to relish causing trouble when they themselves shall be comfortably dead.
Agatha Christie
A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
Agatha Christie
I learned ... that one can never go back, that one should not ever try to go back - that the essence of life is going forward. Life is really a one way street, isn't it?
Agatha Christie
The simplest explanation is always the most likely.
Agatha Christie
It is really a hard life. Men will not be nice to you if you are not good-looking, and women will not be nice to you if you are.
Agatha Christie
More children suffer from interference than from non-interference.
Agatha Christie
I've got an uncle myself. Nobody should be held responsible for their uncles. Nature's little throwbacks - that's how I look at it.
Agatha Christie
I'm afraid of death... Yes, but that doesn't stop death coming.
Agatha Christie
One never quite allows for the moron in our midst.
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
a great man always knows better than to explain unless an explanation is demanded. To rush into explanations and excuses is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
The truth often does sound unconvincing.
Agatha Christie
Best of an island is once you get there - you can't go any farther...you've come to the end of things.
Agatha Christie
There was a moment when I changed from an amateur to a professional. I assumed the burden of a profession, which is to write even when you don't want to, don't much like what you're writing, and aren't writing particularly well
Agatha Christie
I have no pity for myself either. So let it be Veronal. But I wish Hercule Poirot had never retired from work and come here to grow vegetable marrows.
Agatha Christie
Who are you? You don't belong to the police?' 'I am better than the police,' said Poirot. He said it without conscious arrogance. It was, to him, a simple statement of fact.
Agatha Christie
The supernatural is only the natural of which the laws are not yet understood.
Agatha Christie
Writing is a great comfort to people like me, who are unsure of themselves and have trouble expressing themselves properly.
Agatha Christie
It's so much nicer to be a secret and delightful sin to anybody than to be a feather in his cap.
