Agatha Christie
When you find that people are not telling you the truth---look out!
Agatha Christie
When a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie
I think, myself, that one's memories represent those moments which, insignificant as they may seem, nevertheless represent the inner self and oneself as most really oneself.
Agatha Christie
Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.
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
Love is not everything ... It is only when we are young that we think it is.
Agatha Christie
Doctors can do almost anything nowadays, can't they, unless they kill you while they're trying to cure you.
