More quotes by Agatha Christie

Image
I have wanted . . . to commit a murder myself. I recognized this as the desire of the artist to express himself! . . . But-incongruous as it may seem to some-I was restrained and hampered by my innate sense of justice. The innocent must not suffer.
Agatha Christie
Image
When the fact doesn't meet the theory then let go the theory.
Agatha Christie
Image

Instinct is a marvelous thing. It can neither be explained nor ignored.
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
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
Evil never goes unpunished, Monsieur. But the punishment is sometimes secret.
Agatha Christie
Image
If you've had a happy childhood, nobody can take that away from you.
Agatha Christie
Image
It is my experience that no one, in the course of conversation, can fail to give themselves away sooner or later. Everyone has an irresistible urge to talk about themselves.
Agatha Christie
Image
Hercule Poirot: I am an imbecile. I see only half of the picture. Miss Lemon: I don't even see that.
