More quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
We've got to laugh or break our hearts in this damnable world.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The doctrine of hell is not mediaeval priestcraft for frightening people into giving money to the church: it is Christ's deliberate judgment on sin.... We cannot repudiate hell without altogether repudiating Christ.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It is not the business of the church to adapt Christ to men, but men to Christ.
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
She reflected she must be completely besotted about Peter, if his laughter could hallow an aspidistra.
Dorothy L. Sayers
What is the use of acquiring one's heart's desire if one cannot handle and gloat over it, show it to one's friends, and gather an anthology of envy and admiration?
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
There's nothing you can't prove if your outlook is only sufficiently limited.
Dorothy L. Sayers
There's truth as far as you knows it and there's truth as far as you're asked for it. But they don't represent the whole truth - not necessarily.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It was left for the present age to endow Covetousness with glamour on a big scale, and to give it a title which it could carry like a flag. It occurred to somebody to call it Enterprise. From the moment of that happy inspiration, Covetousness has gone forward and never looked back.
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
Britain possesses no climate, only weather.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Very dangerous things, theories.
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
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
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
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
I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home.
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
If anybody ever marries you, it will be for the pleasure of hearing you talk piffle
Dorothy L. Sayers
