Dorothy L. Sayers
Placetne, magistra? Placet.
Dorothy L. Sayers
God was executed by people painfully like us, in a society very similar to our own ... by a corrupt church, a timid politician, and a fickle proletariat led by professional agitators.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The one thing which seems to me quite impossible is to take into consideration the kind of book one is expected to write surely one can only write the book that is there to be written.
Dorothy L. Sayers
We've got to laugh or break our hearts in this damnable world.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It's not the innocent young things that need gentle handling--it's the ones that have been frightened and hurt.
Dorothy L. Sayers
There's ways and ways of dyin'. Some is took, and some takes French leave, and others is 'elped out of life.
Dorothy L. Sayers
There's nothing you can't prove if your outlook is only sufficiently limited.
Dorothy L. Sayers
