More quotes by 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'?).

But you see, I can believe a thing without understanding it. It's all a matter of training.
Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers
The only Christian work is good work, well done
Dorothy L. Sayers
The education that we have so far succeeded in giving to the bulk of our citizens has produced a generation of mental slatterns.
Dorothy L. Sayers
... to mention honor was to suggest its opposite.
Dorothy L. Sayers
all conscious thought is a process in time so that to think consciously about Time is like trying to use a foot-rule to measure its own length.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It's very inconvenient being a sculptor. It's like playing the double-bass one's so handicapped by one's baggage.
Dorothy L. Sayers
To make a deliberate falsification for personal gain is the last, worst depth to which either scholar or artist can descend in work or life.
Dorothy L. Sayers
How can I find the words? Poets have taken them all and left me with nothing to say or do Except to teach me for the first time what they meant.
Dorothy L. Sayers
I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home.
Dorothy L. Sayers
