More quotes by Agatha Christie
I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties.
Agatha Christie
Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.
Agatha Christie
Every man should have aunts. They illustrate the triumph of guess work over logic.
Agatha Christie
The out-of-date returns in due course as the picturesque.
Agatha Christie
Hercule Poirot: I am an imbecile. I see only half of the picture. Miss Lemon: I don't even see that.
Agatha Christie
Jealousy, you know, is usually not an affair of causes. It is much more-how shall I say?-fundamental than that. Based on the knowledge that one's love is not returned. And so one goes on waiting, watching, expecting...that the loved one will turn to someone else.
Agatha Christie
One does see so much evil in a village,' murmured Miss Marple in an explanatory voice.
Agatha Christie
I have always admired the Esquimaux (Eskimos). One fine day a delicious meal is cooked for dear old mother, and then she goes walking away over the ice, and doesn't come back.
Agatha Christie
You regard it as impossible that a sinner should be struck down by the wrath of God! I do not!
Agatha Christie
I have often had occasion to notice how, where a direct question would fail to elicit a response, a false assumption brings instant information in the form of a contradiction.
Agatha Christie
If you've had a happy childhood, nobody can take that away from you.
Agatha Christie
It's no good starting out by thinking one is a heaven-born genius- some people are, but very few. No, one is a tradesman - a tradesman in a good honest trade. You must learn the technical skills, and then, within that trade, you can apply your own creative ideas, but you must submit them to the discipline of form.
Agatha Christie
The things young women read nowadays and profess to enjoy positively frighten me.
Agatha Christie
You are the patient one, Mademoiselle,' said Poirot to Miss Debenham. She shrugged her shoulders slightly. 'What else can one do?' You are a philosopher, Mademoiselle.' That implies a detached attitude. I think my attitude is more selfish. I have learned to save myself useless emotion.
Agatha Christie
Liking is more important than loving. It lasts. I want what is between us to last, Luke. I don't want us just to love each other and marry and get tired of each other and then want to marry some one else.
Agatha Christie
My remarks are, as always, apt, sound, and to the point. (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie
It is the quietest and meekest people who are often capable of the most sudden and unexpected violences for the reason that when their control does snap, it goes entirely. (Hercule Poirot)
Agatha Christie
One of the oddest things in life, as we all know, is the way that when you have heard a thing mentioned, within twenty-four hours you nearly always come across it again.
Agatha Christie
You can only really get under anybody's skin if you are married to them.
Agatha Christie
I like to inquire into everything. Hercule Poirot is a good dog. The good dog follows the scent, and if, regrettably, there is no scent to follow, he noses around - seeking always something that is not very nice.
