AGATHA CHRISTIE Quotes
“A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” ~Agatha Christie
"I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness - to save oneself trouble." ~Agatha Christie
"I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.” ~Agatha Christie
"If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody." ~Agatha Christie
"It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them." ~Agatha Christie
"Never tell all you know, not even to the person you know best." ~Agatha Christie
"On my fifth birthday, I was given a dog. It was the most shattering thing that ever happened to me; such unbelievable joy, that I was unable to say a word." ~Agatha Christie - An Autobiography, 1977.
"One must accept the fact that we have only one companion in this world, a companion who accompanies us from the cradle to the grave - our own self. Get on good terms with that companion - learn to live with yourself." ~Agatha Christie
"One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is to have a happy childhood." ~Agatha Christie
"There are such strange things buried in the unconscious. A lust for power, a lust for cruelty - a savage desire to tear and rend-all the inheritance of our past racial memories... They are all there, all the cruelty, savagery and lust. We shut the door on them and deny them conscious life, but sometimes they are too strong.//
We see it all around us today - in political creeds, in the conducts of nations. A reaction from humanitarianism, from pity, from brotherly good will. The creeds sound well sometimes, a wise regime, a beneficent government - but imposed by force - resting on a basis of cruelty and fear. They are opening the door, these apostles of violence, they are letting out the old savagery, the old delight in cruelty for its own sake! Oh, it is difficult. Man is an animal delicately balanced. He has one prime necessity - to survive."
~Agatha Christie, Appointment with Death
"Very few of us are what we seem." ~Agatha Christie
"Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody." ~Agatha Christie (1890-1976)
"Women observe subconsciously a thousand little details, without knowing they are doing so. Their subconscious mind adds these little things together--and they call the result intuition." ~Agatha Christie (1891-1975)
