“I am pointing to you that under these conditions--mental strain, physical malaise--it is highly probable that dislikes that were before merely mild and disagreements that were trivial might suddenly assume a more serious note. The result of pretending to be a more amiable, a more forgiving, a more high-minded person than one really is, has sooner or later the effect of causing one to behave as a more disagreeable, a more ruthless and an altogether more unpleasant person than is actually the case! If you dam the stream of natural behavior, mon ami, sooner or later the dam bursts and cataclysm occurs.”

“But who thinks of death in the middle of life?"-Mike RogersEndless Night by Agatha Christie”
Agatha Christie, Endless Night“Sensationalism dies quickly, fear is long-lived.”
Agatha Christie, Death in the Clouds“The man who came into the room did not look as though his name was, or could have ever been, Robinson. It might have been Demetrius, or Isaacstein, or Perenna - though not one or the other in particular. He was not definitely Jewish, nor definitely Greek nor Portugese nor Spanish, nor South American. What did seem highly unlikely was that he was an Englishman called Robinson.”
Agatha Christie“But when you say crazy, that describes very well what the general appearance may be to ordinary, everyday people.”
Agatha Christie“Your idea of a woman is someone who gets on a chair and shrieks if she sees a mouse. That's all prehistoric.”
Agatha Christie“When the sea goes down, there will come from the mainland boats and men. And they will find ten dead bodies and an unsolved problem on Indian Island.”
Agatha Christie, And Then There Were None“I absolutely adore Agatha Christie; so much so that when I received a kitten for my Christmas present, I called her Agatha, and I already have a cat called Hercule!”
Kimberley Nixon“Poetry is not the most important thing in life... I'd much rather lie in a hot bath reading Agatha Christie and sucking sweets.”
Dylan Thomas“Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can't do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they've seen it often before.”
Agatha Christie, Murder at the Vicarage“When you think about the period in which Agatha Christie's crime novels were written, they are actually quite edgy for the time.”
