More quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
Well-bred English people never have imagination.
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
The popular mind has grown so confused that it is no longer able to receive any statement of fact except as an expression of personal feeling.
Dorothy L. Sayers
What? Sunday morning in an English family and no sausages? God bless my soul, what's the world coming to, eh?
Dorothy L. Sayers
Forgiveness is the one unpardonable sin.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The only sin passion can commit is to be joyless.
Dorothy L. Sayers

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

Dorothy L. Sayers
Variety, individuality, peculiarity, eccentricity and indeed crankiness are agreeable to the British mind they make life more interesting.
Dorothy L. Sayers
the heaviest restriction upon the freedom of public opinion is not the official censorship of the Press, but the unofficial censorship by a Press which exists not so much to express opinion as to manufacture it.
Dorothy L. Sayers
That you cannot have Christian principles without Christ is becoming increasingly clear, because their validity as principles depends on Christ's authority.
Dorothy L. Sayers
I know what you're thinking - that anybody with proper sensitive feelings would rather scrub floors for a living. But I should scrub floors very badly, and I write detective stories rather well. I don't see why proper feelings should prevent me from doing my proper job.
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
you can give it a long name if you like, but I'm an old-fashioned woman and I call it mother-wit, and it's so rare for a man to have it that if he does you write a book about him and call him Sherlock Holmes.
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
whereas, up to the present, there is only one known way of getting born, there are endless ways of getting killed.
Dorothy L. Sayers
What do we find God 'doing about' this business of sin and evil?...God did not abolish the fact of evil He transformed it. He did not stop the Crucifixion He rose from the dead.
Dorothy L. Sayers
How true it is that men live for Things and women for People!
Dorothy L. Sayers
