Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog.

Agatha Christie
Image
Most successes are unhappy. That's why they are successes - they have to reassure themselves about themselves by achieving something that the world will notice.
Agatha Christie
Image
The human mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to think for itself - and such thinking, remember, is original thinking and may have valuable results.

I'm sorry, but I do hate this differentiation between the sexes. The modern girl has a thoroughly businesslike attitude to life! That sort of thing. It's not a bit true! Some girls are businesslike and some aren't. Some men are sentimental and muddle-headed, others are clear-headed and logical. There are just different types of brains.

One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie
Image
I've got a stomach now as well as a behind. And I mean - well, you can't pull it in both ways, can you? ... I've made it a rule to pull in my stomach and let my behind look after itself.
Agatha Christie
Image
I have always admired the Esquimaux (Eskimos). One fine day a delicious meal is cooked for dear old mother, and then she goes walking away over the ice, and doesn't come back.

If you love, you will suffer, and if you do not love, you do not know the meaning of a Christian life.

One knows so little. When one knows more it is too late.

In the midst of life, we are in death.
Agatha Christie
Image
... the belief in a superstratum of human beings ... is the most evil of all beliefs. For when you say, 'I am not as other men' -- you have lost the two most valuable qualities we have ever tried to attain: -- humility and brotherhood.
Agatha Christie

To care passionately for another human creature brings always more sorrow than joy but at the same time, Elinor, one would not be without experience. Anyone who has never really loved has never really lived.
