From an early age I knew very strongly the lust to kill.
Agatha Christie
Image
I admit, I said, that a second murder in a book often cheers things up. - Hastings
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The young people think the old people are fools -- but the old people know the young people are fools.
Agatha Christie
Image
Love is not everything ... It is only when we are young that we think it is.
Agatha Christie

I'm sure you have a theme: the theme of your life. You can embellish it or desecrate it, but it's your theme, and as long as you follow it, you will experience harmony and peace of mind.
Agatha Christie
Image
Everyone is a potential murderer-in everyone there arises from time to time thewish to kill-though not the will to kill.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
Nobody knows what another person is thinking. They may imagine they do, but they are nearly always wrong.
Agatha Christie
Image
It is deplorable...to remove all the romance - all the mystery!
Agatha Christie
Image
how tedious is retirement! You cannot imagine to yourself the monotony with which day comes after day.
Agatha Christie
Image
Bad temper is its own safety valve. He who can bark does not bite.
Agatha Christie
Image
There are some people who don't conform to the signals. An ordinary well-regulated locomotive slows down or pulls up when it sees the red light hoisted against it. Perhaps I was born color blind. When I see the red signal -- I can't help forging ahead. And in the end, you know, that spells disaster.
Agatha Christie
Image
It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
Agatha Christie
Image
I suppose without curiosity a man would be a tortoise. Very comfortable life, a tortoise has.
