More quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
... to mention honor was to suggest its opposite.
Dorothy L. Sayers
There's truth as far as you knows it and there's truth as far as you're asked for it. But they don't represent the whole truth - not necessarily.
Dorothy L. Sayers
There's nothing you can't prove if your outlook is only sufficiently limited.
Dorothy L. Sayers
I have never yet heard any middle-aged man or woman who worked with his or her brains express any regret for the passing of youth.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It is as dangerous for people unaccustomed to handling words and unacquainted with their technique to tinker about with these heavily-charged nuclei of emotional power as it would be for me to burst into a laboratory and play about with a powerful electromagnet or other machine highly charged with electrical force.
Dorothy L. Sayers
the truth and value of a theory does not depend on the number of people who are interested in it - otherwise you might compare the number of people who follow the predictions of astrologers in the daily press with those who attend lectures by Einstein, and conclude that astrology was more valuable and true than physics.
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
How true it is that men live for Things and women for People!
Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers
The keeping of an idle woman is a badge of superior social status.
Dorothy L. Sayers
What the Church should be telling him [the carpenter] is this: that the very first demand that his religion makes upon him is that he should make good tables.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Except ye become as little children, except you can wake on your fiftieth birthday with the same forward-looking excitement and interest in life that you enjoyed when you were five, ye cannot enter the kingdom of God. One must not only die daily, but every day we must be born again.
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
I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Very dangerous things, theories.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The only Christian work is good work, well done
Dorothy L. Sayers
What is repugnant to every human being is to be reckoned always as a member of a class and not as an individual person.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Sex is every man's loco spot ... he'll take a disappointment, but not a humiliation.
Dorothy L. Sayers
What? Sunday morning in an English family and no sausages? God bless my soul, what's the world coming to, eh?
Dorothy L. Sayers
