More quotes by Agatha Christie
And, of course, afterwards -- one always hears these things afterwards, so much better if one heard them before -- we found out that dozens of empty brandy bottles were taken out of the house every week!
Agatha Christie
Everybody is very much alike, really. But fortunately, perhaps, they don't realise it. - Miss Marple
Agatha Christie
you cannot give to people what they are incapable of receiving.
Agatha Christie
The young people think the old people are fools -- but the old people know the young people are fools.
Agatha Christie
the science of tomorrow is the supernatural of today.
Agatha Christie
No sign, so far, of anything sinister—but I live in hope.
Agatha Christie
... nothing is so boring as devotion.
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
At my time of life, one knows that the worst is usually true.
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
Too much mercy... often resulted in further crimes which were fatal to innocent victims who need not have been victims if justice had been put first and mercy second.
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
The point is that one's got an instinct to live. One doesn't live because one's reason assents to living. People who, as we say, 'would be better dead' don't want to die! People who apparently have everything to live for just let themselves fade out of life because they haven't got the energy to fight.
Agatha Christie
Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.
Agatha Christie
Ideas are like everything else. They've got to be marketed.
Agatha Christie
Use that fluff of yours you call a brain.
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 great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves
Agatha Christie
To win a war is as disasterous as to lose one.
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
