More quotes by Agatha Christie
I am not mad. I am eccentric perhaps--at least certain people say so but as regards my profession. I am very much as one says, 'all there.
Agatha Christie
My remarks are, as always, apt, sound, and to the point. (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie
That is why most great love stories are tragedies.
Agatha Christie
Books are a habit-forming drug.
Agatha Christie
Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master.
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 suppose without curiosity a man would be a tortoise. Very comfortable life, a tortoise has.
Agatha Christie
I do not argue with obstinate men. I act in spite of them.
Agatha Christie
I know there's a proverb which that says 'To err is human,' but a human error is nothing to what a computer can do if it tries.
Agatha Christie
You can only really get under anybody's skin if you are married to them.
Agatha Christie
Now I am old-fashioned. A woman, I consider, should be womanly. I have no patience with the modern neurotic girl who jazzes from morning to night, smokes like a chimney, and uses language which would make a billingsgate fishwoman blush!
Agatha Christie
No, my friend, I am not drunk. I have just been to the dentist, and need not return for another six months! Is it not the most beautiful thought? --Poirot
Agatha Christie
The tragedy of life is that people do not change.
Agatha Christie
Three months seems to me quite a reasonable time to complete a book, if one can get right down to it.
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
And yet, said Poirot, suppose an accident- Ah, no, my friend- From your point of view it would be regrettable, I agree. But nevertheless let us just for one moment suppose it. Then, perhaps, all these here are linked together - by death.
Agatha Christie
Those who never think of money need a great deal of it.
Agatha Christie
There is nothing more thrilling in this world, I think, than having a child that is yours, and yet is mysteriously a stranger.
Agatha Christie
Instinct is a marvelous thing. It can neither be explained nor ignored.
Agatha Christie
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
Agatha Christie
