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

Advertise, or go under.
Dorothy L. Sayers
How can I find the words? Poets have taken them all and left me with nothing to say or do Except to teach me for the first time what they meant.

Dorothy L. Sayers
I admit it is better fun to punt than be punted, and that a desire to have all the fun is nine-tenths of the law of chivalry.
Dorothy L. Sayers
If anybody ever marries you, it will be for the pleasure of hearing you talk piffle
Dorothy L. Sayers
She couldn't have found anything nastier to say if she had thought it out with both hands for a fortnight.
Dorothy L. Sayers
We've got to laugh or break our hearts in this damnable world.
Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers
That there is a secret itself is a secret.
Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers
There's nothing you can't prove if your outlook is only sufficiently limited.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Sex is every man's loco spot ... he'll take a disappointment, but not a humiliation.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The best remedy for a bruised heart is not, as so many people think, repose upon a manly bosom. Much more efficacious are honest work, physical activity, and the sudden acquisition of wealth.
Dorothy L. Sayers
If you want your own way, God will let you have it. Hell is the enjoyment of one's own way forever.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Nothing goes so well with a hot fire and buttered crumpets as a wet day without and a good dose of comfortable horrors within. The heavier the lashing of the rain and the ghastlier the details, the better the flavour seems to be.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The only Christian work is good work, well done
Dorothy L. Sayers
For the sole true end of education is simply this: to teach men how to learn for themselves and whatever instruction fails to do this is effort spent in vain.
Dorothy L. Sayers
