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
I'm getting very old and my bones ache. My sins are deserting me, and if I could only have my time over again I'd take care to commit more of them.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Heroics that don't come off are the very essence of burlesque.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
Dorothy L. Sayers
To start with invention is the mark of the fertile mind ... and leads later to the interpretation of experience to start with the reproduction of experience is the infallible index of a barren invention.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The recognition of the truth that we get in the artist's work comes to us as a revelation of new truth. We did not know it before, but the moment it is shown to us, we know that, somehow or other, we had always known it.
