Heroics that don't come off are the very essence of burlesque.
Dorothy L. Sayers
There's nothing you can't prove if your outlook is only sufficiently limited.
Dorothy L. Sayers
And what do all the great words come to in the end, but that? I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Do you know how to pick a lock? Not in the least, I'm afraid. I often wonder what we go to school for, said Wimsey.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Never think that wars are irrational catastrophes: they happen when wrong ways of thinking and living bring about intolerable situations ... the root causes of conflict are usually to be found in some wrong way of life in which all parties have acquiesced, and for which everybody must, to some extent, bear the blame.
Dorothy L. Sayers
None of us feels the true love of God till we realize how wicked we are. But you can't teach people that - they have to learn by experience.
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
No share-pusher could vend his worthless stock, if he could not count on meeting, in his prospective victim, an unscrupulous avarice as vicious as his own, but stupider. 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 first thing a principle does is kill somebody
Dorothy L. Sayers
Sex is every man's loco spot ... he'll take a disappointment, but not a humiliation.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Paradoxical as it may seem, to believe in youth is to look backward to look forward we must believe in age.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It is the first duty of a gentleman to remember in the morning who he went to bed with the night before.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Advertising never sold a bad product twice.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The people who hanged Christ never, to do them justice, accused Him of being a bore - on the contrary they thought Him too dynamic to be safe. It has been left for later generations to muffle up that shattering personality and surround Him with an atmosphere of tedium.
Dorothy L. Sayers
What the Church should be telling him [the carpenter] is this: that the very first demand that his religion makes upon him is that he should make good tables.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
Dorothy L. Sayers
To subdue one's self to one's own ends might be dangerous, but to subdue one's self to other people's ends was dust and ashes. Yet there were those, still more unhappy, who envied even the ashy saltness of those dead sea apples.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The Devil ... is much better served by exploiting our virtues than by appealing to our lower passions consequently, it is when the Devil looks most noble and reasonable that he is most dangerous.
Dorothy L. Sayers
If men will not understand the meaning of judgement, they will never come to understand the meaning of grace.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Man is never truly himself except when he is actively creating something.
Dorothy L. Sayers
