John Christie quotes:

The sixth commandment - 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' - fascinated me . . . I always knew that some day I should defy it.

When I murdered my wife I removed the one obstacle which for ten years had apparently held me in check. After she had gone the way was clear for me to fulfill my destiny.

For me a corpse has a beauty and dignity which a living body could never hold . . . there is a peace about death that soothes me.

My first murder was thrilling because I had embarked on the career I had chosen for myself, the career of murder.
