Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.
Agatha Christie
Image
Never tell all you know—not even to the person you know best.
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

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.

To keep something wild is far more difficult than to preserve it.
Agatha Christie
Image
Words are such uncertain things, they so often sound well but mean the opposite of what one thinks they do.
Agatha Christie
Image
You should employ your little grey cells.
Agatha Christie
Image
Never go back to a place where you have been happy. Until you do it remains alive for you. If you go back it will be destroyed.
Agatha Christie
Image
Many homicidal lunatics are very quiet, unassuming people. Delightful fellows.
Agatha Christie

One of us in this very room is in fact the murderer.
Agatha Christie
Image
I have always been so sure - too sure... But now I am very humble and I say like a little child: I do not know...
Agatha Christie
Image
