We've got to laugh or break our hearts in this damnable world.
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
How true it is that men live for Things and women for People!
Dorothy L. Sayers
[O]ne can scarcely be frightened off writing what one wants to write for fear an obscure reviewer should patronise one on that account.
Dorothy L. Sayers
To subdue one's self to one's own ends might be dangerous, but to subdue one's self to other people's ends was dust and ashes. Yet there were those, still more unhappy, who envied even the ashy saltness of those dead sea apples.
Dorothy L. Sayers
To foment grievance and to set men at variance is the trade by which agitators thrive and journalists make money.
Dorothy L. Sayers
We shall know what things are of overmastering importance when they have overmastered us.
Dorothy L. Sayers
If you want your own way, God will let you have it. Hell is the enjoyment of one's own way forever.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Variety, individuality, peculiarity, eccentricity and indeed crankiness are agreeable to the British mind they make life more interesting.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Sex is every man's loco spot ... he'll take a disappointment, but not a humiliation.
Dorothy L. Sayers
