Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
It is really a hard life. Men will not be nice to you if you are not good-looking, and women will not be nice to you if you are.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie
The amount of missing girls I've had to trace and their family and their friends always say the same thing. 'She was a bright and affectionate disposition and had no men friends'. That's never true. It's unnatural. Girls ought to have men friends. If not, then there's something wrong about them.
Agatha Christie
It's so much nicer to be a secret and delightful sin to anybody than to be a feather in his cap.
Agatha Christie
Money ... is always the great clue to what is happening in the world.
Agatha Christie
Never tell all you know—not even to the person you know best.
Agatha Christie
I don't know. I don't know at all. And that's what's frightening the life out of me. To have no idea.
Agatha Christie
People who can be very good can be very bad too.
Agatha Christie
A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.
Agatha Christie
