More quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
Every time a man expects, as he says, his money to work for him, he is expecting other people to work for him.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The English language has a deceptive air of simplicity so have some little frocks but they are both not the kind of thing you can run up in half an hour with a machine.
Dorothy L. Sayers
People who prefer to believe the worst of others will breed war and religious persecutions while the world lasts.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It's not the innocent young things that need gentle handling--it's the ones that have been frightened and hurt.
Dorothy L. Sayers
But you see, I can believe a thing without understanding it. It's all a matter of training.
Dorothy L. Sayers
[O]ne can scarcely be frightened off writing what one wants to write for fear an obscure reviewer should patronise one on that account.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The young were always theoretical only the middle-aged could realize the deadliness of principles.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The war has jerked us pretty sharply into consciousness about this slug-a-bed sin of Sloth, and perhaps we need not say too much about it. But two warnings are rather necessary.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Wherever you find a great man, you will find a great mother or a great wife standing behind him -- or so they used to say. It would be interesting to know how many great women have had great fathers and husbands behind them.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Lawyers enjoy a little mystery, you know. Why, if everybody came forward and told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth straight out, we should all retire to the workhouse.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Placetne, magistra? Placet.
Dorothy L. Sayers
First I believe it to be a grave mistake to present Christianity as something charming and popular with no offense inn it.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The rule seemed to be that a great woman must either die unwed ... or find a still greater man to marry her. ... The great man, on the other hand, could marry where he liked, not being restricted to great women indeed, it was often found sweet and commendable in him to choose a woman of no sort of greatness at all.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
Dorothy L. Sayers
If anybody ever marries you, it will be for the pleasure of hearing you talk piffle
Dorothy L. Sayers
I entirely agree that a historian ought to be precise in detail but unless you take all the characters and circumstances into account, you are reckoning without the facts. The proportions and relations of things are just as much facts as the things themselves.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The only sin passion can commit is to be joyless.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Why? Oh, well - I thought you'd be rather an attractive person to marry. That's all. I mean, I sort of took a fancy to you. I can't tell you why. There's no rule about it, you know.
Dorothy L. Sayers
But that's men all over ... Poor dears, they can't help it. They haven't got logical minds.
Dorothy L. Sayers
What we make is more important than what we are, particularly if making is our profession.
Dorothy L. Sayers
