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
There is one vast human experience that confronts us so formidably that we cannot pretend to overlook it. There is no solution to death. There is no means whatever whereby you or I, by taking thought, can solve this difficulty in such a manner that it no longer exists.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Placetne, magistra? Placet.
Dorothy L. Sayers
