Image
It is deplorable...to remove all the romance - all the mystery!
Agatha Christie
Image
No, my friend, I am not drunk. I have just been to the dentist, and need not return for another six months! Is it not the most beautiful thought? --Poirot
Agatha Christie
Image
Many homicidal lunatics are very quiet, unassuming people. Delightful fellows.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
Never worry about what you say to a man. They're so conceited that they never believe you mean it if it's unflattering.
Agatha Christie
Image
Everybody is very much alike, really. But fortunately, perhaps, they don't realise it. - Miss Marple
Agatha Christie
Image
It's very inconvenient to be loved. Nearly everyone has found that out, sooner or later. The fewer people who love you the less you will have to suffer.
Agatha Christie
Image
If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody.
Agatha Christie
Image
There are more important things than finding the murderer. And justice is a fine word, but it is sometimes difficult to say exactly what one means by it. In my opinion, the important thing is to clear the innocent. - Hercule Poirot
Agatha Christie
Image
I always think loyalty's such a tiresome virtue.
Agatha Christie
Image
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
Image
There are questions that you don't ask because you're afraid of the answers to them.
Agatha Christie
Image
Bitterness leads nowhere. It turns back on itself. It is the eternal cul-de-sac.
Agatha Christie
Image
I believe, Messieurs, in loyalty---to one's friends and one's family and one's caste.
Agatha Christie
Image
Very unfortunately, she had no husband. She had never had a husband, and therefore did not kill a husband.
Agatha Christie
Image
I was thinking, that when my time comes, I should be sorry if the only plea I had to offer was that of justice. Because it might mean that only justice would be meted out to me.
Agatha Christie
Image
It's not a man's working hours that are important--it's his leisure hours. That's the mistake we all make.
Agatha Christie
Image
But I know human nature, my friend, and I tell you that, suddenly confronted with the possibility of being tried for murder, the most innocent person will lose his head and do the most absurd things.
Agatha Christie
Image
Now I am old-fashioned. A woman, I consider, should be womanly. I have no patience with the modern neurotic girl who jazzes from morning to night, smokes like a chimney, and uses language which would make a billingsgate fishwoman blush!

Time is the best killer.
