Exactly! It is absurd - improbable - it cannot be. So I myself have said. And yet, my friend, there it is! One cannot escape from the facts.

More quotes by Agatha Christie
Everything has got its right size. When it is its right size and well run it's the tops.
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
The human face is, after all, nothing more nor less than a mask.
Agatha Christie
I've got an uncle myself. Nobody should be held responsible for their uncles. Nature's little throwbacks - that's how I look at it.
Agatha Christie
There's no agony like [getting started]. You sit in a room, biting pencils, looking at a typewriter, walking about, or casting yourself down on a sofa, feeling you want to cry your head off.
Agatha Christie
Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
Agatha Christie
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
Real evidence is usually vague and unsatisfactory. It has to be examined---sifted. But here the whole thing is cut and dried. No, my friend, this evidence has been very cleverly manufactured---so cleverly that it has defeated its own ends.
Agatha Christie
Who are you? You don't belong to the police?' 'I am better than the police,' said Poirot. He said it without conscious arrogance. It was, to him, a simple statement of fact.
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
In the midst of life, we are in death.
Agatha Christie
Do you know my friend that each one of us is a dark mystery, a maze of conflicting passions and desire and aptitudes?
Agatha Christie
... there are many to whom money has no personal appeal, but who can be tempted by the power it confers.
Agatha Christie
I learned ... that one can never go back, that one should not ever try to go back - that the essence of life is going forward. Life is really a one way street, isn't it?
Agatha Christie
I always think loyalty's such a tiresome virtue.
Agatha Christie
There is too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will. I must concede you the Devil. God doesn't really need to punish us, Miss Barton. We're so busy punishing ourselves.
Agatha Christie
To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
And if you cast down an idol, there's nothing left.
Agatha Christie
Authors were shy, unsociable creatures, atoning for their lack of social aptitude by inventing their own companions and conversations.
Agatha Christie
Don't think. That is the wrong way to bring anything back. Let it go. Sooner or later it will flash into your mind.
Agatha Christie
