And so could you know it if you would only use the brains the good God has given you. Sometimes I really am tempted to believe that by inadvertence, He passed you by.

I've a theory that one can always get anything one wants if one will pay the price. And do you know what the price is, nine times out of ten? Compromise.

The urge to write one's autobiography, so I have been told, overtakes everyone sooner or later.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

You are the patient one, Mademoiselle,' said Poirot to Miss Debenham. She shrugged her shoulders slightly. 'What else can one do?' You are a philosopher, Mademoiselle.' That implies a detached attitude. I think my attitude is more selfish. I have learned to save myself useless emotion.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

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.

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

I am not mad. I am eccentric perhaps--at least certain people say so; but as regards my profession. I am very much as one says, 'all there.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

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 428 quotes

Everyone likes talking about ...

Everyone likes talking about himself. - Hercule Poirot

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

But no artist, I now realize, can be satisfied with art alone. There is a natural craving for recognition which cannot be gain-said.
