A man doesn't wasnt to feel that a woman cares more for him than he cares for her. He doesn't want to feel owned, body and soul. It's that damned possessive attitude. This man is mine---he belongs to me! He wants to get away --- to get free. He wants to own his woman; he doesn't want her to own him.(Simon Boyle)

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

I have often had occasion to ...

I have often had occasion to notice how, where a direct question would fail to elicit a response, a false assumption brings instant information in the form of a contradiction.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

She didn't give George any to...

She didn't give George any too easy a time when she was alive. She was one of those semi-invalids – I believe she had really something wrong with her, but whatever it was she played it for all it was worth. She was capricious, exacting, unreasonable. She complained from morning to night. George was expected to wait on her, hand and foot and everything he did was always wrong and he got cursed for it. Most men, I'm fully convinced, would have hit her with a hatchet long ago.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

Why shouldn't I hate her? She...

Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

And, of course, afterwards --...

And, of course, afterwards -- one always hears these things afterwards, so much better if one heard them before -- we found out that dozens of empty brandy bottles were taken out of the house every week!

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

Nurses - nurses, you'm all th...

Nurses - nurses, you'm all the same. Full of cheerfulness over other people's troubles.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

I, myself, was always recogni...

I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the “slow one” in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

Any medical man who predicts ...

Any medical man who predicts exactly when a patient will die, or exactly how long he will live, is bound to make a fool of himself. The human factor is always incalculable. The weak have often unexpected powers of resistance, the strong sometimes succumb.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

Bad temper is its own safety ...

Bad temper is its own safety valve. He who can bark does not bite.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

Nothing, I believe, is so ful...

Nothing, I believe, is so full of life under the microscope as a drop of water from a stagnant pool.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

To keep something wild is far...

To keep something wild is far more difficult than to preserve it.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

If you confront anyone who ha...

If you confront anyone who has lied with the truth, he will usually admit it - often out of sheer surprise. It is only necessary to guess right to produce your effect.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

The bereaved had never any do...

The bereaved had never any doubt about their dear ones' wishes and those wishes usually squared with their own inclinations.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

A man when he is making up to...

A man when he is making up to anybody can be cordial and gallant and full of little attentions and altogether charming. But when a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

You know, Emily was a selfish...

You know, Emily was a selfish old woman in her way. She was very generous, but she always wanted a return. She never let people forget what she had done for them - and, that way she missed love.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

The steamship whose machinery...

The steamship whose machinery is broken may be brought into port and made fast to the dock. She is safe, but not sound. Repairs may last a long time. Christ designs to make us both safe and sound. Justification gives the first - safety; sanctification gives us the second - soundness.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

If anyone is really determined to lend you a book, you never can get out of it!

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

a lot of trouble has been caused by memoirs. Indiscreet revelations, that sort of thing. People who have been close as an oyster all their lives seem positively to relish causing trouble when they themselves shall be comfortably dead.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

Oh, no, I'm not brave. When a thing is certain, there's nothing to be brave about. All you can do is to find your consolation.

Agatha Christie 428 quotes

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.
