“Never tell all you know—not even to the person you know best.”
― Agatha Christie, The Secret Adversary

“As a matter of fact it wouldn’t be safe to tell any man the truth about his wife! Funnily enough, I’d trust most women with the truth about their husbands. Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.”
― Agatha Christie, Murder in Mesopotamia

“Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.”
― Agatha Christie, The Labours of Hercules

“But surely for everything you love you have to pay some price.”
― Agatha Christie, Agatha Christie: An Autobiography
