More quotes by 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
Advertising never sold a bad product twice.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Britain possesses no climate, only weather.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Work is not primarily a thing one does to live but the thing one lives to do. It is, or it should be, the full expression of the worker's faculties, the thing in which he finds spiritual, mental and bodily satisfaction, and the medium in which he offers himself to God.
Dorothy L. Sayers
If men will not understand the meaning of judgement, they will never come to understand the meaning of grace.
Dorothy L. Sayers
What we make is more important than what we are, particularly if making is our profession.
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
I have the most ill-regulated memory. It does those things which it ought not to do and leaves undone the things it ought to have done. But it has not yet gone on strike altogether.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The first thing that strikes the careless observer is that women are unlike men. They are 'the opposite sex' - (though why 'opposite' I do not know what is the 'neighbouring sex'?).
Dorothy L. Sayers
But what are you going to do about the people who are cursed with both hearts and brains?
Dorothy L. Sayers
But if it ever occurs to people to value the honor of the mind equally with the honor of the body, we shall get a social revolution of a quite unparalleled sort — and very different from the kind that is being made at the moment.
Dorothy L. Sayers
A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought.
Dorothy L. Sayers
But you see, I can believe a thing without understanding it. It's all a matter of training.
Dorothy L. Sayers
... to mention honor was to suggest its opposite.
Dorothy L. Sayers
No share-pusher could vend his worthless stock, if he could not count on meeting, in his prospective victim, an unscrupulous avarice as vicious as his own, but stupider. 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
Those who make some other person their job... are dangerous.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Forgiveness is the one unpardonable sin.
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.
Dorothy L. Sayers
But that's men all over ... Poor dears, they can't help it. They haven't got logical minds.
Dorothy L. Sayers
I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home.
Dorothy L. Sayers
