Agatha Christie Quote #1
... Good gracious, Jerry, you'll probably have to marry the girl.'
Joanna was half serious, half laughing.
It was at that moment that I made a very important discovery.
'Damn it all,' I said. 'I don't mind if I do. In fact - I should like it.'
A very funny expression came over Joanna's face. She got up and said dryly, as she went toward the door, 'Yes, I've known that for some time...'
She left me standing, glass in hand, aghast at my new discovery.Agatha Christie Quote #2

A man who has shot lions in large quantities has an unfair advantage over other men.
Agatha Christie Quote #11
A meal should always lie lightly on the estomac, said Poirot. It should not be so heavy as to paralyze thought.
Agatha Christie Quote #12
A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one’s neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.
Agatha Christie Quote #13
A statesman in these days has a difficult task. He has to pursue the policy he deems advantageous to his country, but he has at the same time to recognize the force of popular feeling. Popular feeling is very often sentimental, muddleheaded, and eminently unsound, but it cannot be disregarded for all that.
Agatha Christie Quote #14
A woman would know all right about her own husband.
Agatha Christie Quote #15

That would be a very good question, said Miss Marple. I have not yet had the pleasure of sufficient conversation with you to evolve a theory as to that.
Mr. Rafter's smile broadened.
Conversations with you might be dangerous, he said.
Conversations are always dangerous, if you have something to hide, said Miss Marple.Agatha Christie Quote #20
And they had no idea that they and many others were automatically pronounced deadly dull solely on that account. Only by the young of course, but then, they would have thought indulgently, young people knew nothing about life. Poor dears, they were always worrying about examinations, or their sex life, or buying some extraordinary clothes, or doing some extraordinary things to their hair to make them more noticeable.
Agatha Christie Quote #21
And yet, said Poirot, suppose an accident-
Ah, no, my friend-
From your point of view it would be regrettable, I agree. But nevertheless let us just for one moment suppose it. Then, perhaps, all these here are linked together - by death.Agatha Christie Quote #22
At the small table, sitting very upright, was one of the ugliest old ladies he had ever seen. It was an ugliness of distinction - it fascinated rather than repelled.

Besides a burial service is rather lovely. Makes you feel uplifted, the grief is real. It makes you feel awful but it does something to you. I mean, it works it out like perspiration.
Agatha Christie Quote #28
Bottled, was he? Said Colonel Bantry, with an Englishman's sympathy for alcoholic excess. Oh, well, can't judge a fellow by what he does when he's drunk? When I was at Cambridge, I remember I put a certain utensil - well - well, nevermind.
Agatha Christie Quote #29
Business is based on the well-known principle of supply and demand. You want something, the other man has it. The only thing left to settle is the price.
