It's very good of you-- No, no, not at all. It's my hobby. Not proposing to people, I don't mean, but investigating things. Well, cheer-frightfully-ho and all that. And I'll call again, if I may. I will give the footman orders to admit you, said the prisoner, gravely, you will always find me at home.
Dorothy L. Sayers

If anybody ever marries you, it will be for the pleasure of hearing you talk piffle
Dorothy L. Sayers
It is as dangerous for people unaccustomed to handling words and unacquainted with their technique to tinker about with these heavily-charged nuclei of emotional power as it would be for me to burst into a laboratory and play about with a powerful electromagnet or other machine highly charged with electrical force.
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
Every time a man expects, as he says, his money to work for him, he is expecting other people to work for him.
