ckrupiej's review against another edition
"É realmente insuportável que cada galinha ponha um ovo de tamanho diferente. Que simetria poderá haver à mesa do pequeno almoço?"
"Se as pequenas células cinzentas não forem exercitadas, enferrujam."
"O impossível não pode ter acontecido, por isso, o impossível deve ser possível apesar das aparências."
"Um palpite é certo ou errado. Se for certo chama-se intuição. Se for errado geralmente não se volta a falar dele."

As I mentioned when I reviewed Murder, She Said (the quote book devoted to the sayings and wisdom of Miss Jane Marple), I have a weakness for quotations. I'm always on the look-out for a nifty turn of the phrase, a profound thought, or even a humorous jest to add to the collection of quotes that I've amassed over the years. And, loving mysteries the way I do, I particularly enjoy finding good quotes in my detective fiction. So, when the books of quotations featuring Agatha Christie's two most famous sleuths came out, I naturally had to add the volumes to my small library of quote books.
It is a small book, but I spent a very pleasant hour reading Poirot's thoughts on everything from himself (oh, what modesty!) to Hastings, from Human Nature to Truth and Lies, and from Romance to Detective Work. It was nice to see quotations from the short stories as well as novels and the book gives us a well-rounded sample of snippets from the great detective.

"If you would only use the brains the good God has given you. Sometimes I really am tempted to believe that by inadvertence He passed you by."
"There is a golden rule in life - never do anything yourself that others can do for you."
"Les femmes... they are marvellous! Women observe subconsciously a thousand little details, without knowing that they are doing so. Their subconscious mind adds these little things together - and they call the result intuition."
"Life is like that! It does not permit you to arrange and order it as you will. It will not permit to escape emotion, to live by the intellect and by reason. You cannot say, "I will feel so much and no more." Life, whatever else it is, is not reasonable."
"No, my friend, I am not drunk. It is that I have been to the dentist, and need not return for another six months. It is a beautiful thought." IF THIS AIN'T ME

I love all Agatha Christie's Poirot (although I do like Miss Marple) and this was a great new addition to my collection.

It was okayish. It would i have been better had I read her other books and known the context.
