Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers
There are times when one is tempted to say that the great, sprawling, lethargic sin of Sloth is the oldest and greatest of the sins and the parent of all the rest.
Dorothy L. Sayers

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
It is the first duty of a gentleman to remember in the morning who he went to bed with the night before.
Dorothy L. Sayers
