Dorothy L. Sayers
The doctrine of hell is not mediaeval priestcraft for frightening people into giving money to the church: it is Christ's deliberate judgment on sin.... We cannot repudiate hell without altogether repudiating Christ.
Dorothy L. Sayers
I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home.
Dorothy L. Sayers
If men will not understand the meaning of judgement, they will never come to understand the meaning of grace.
Dorothy L. Sayers
What is the use of acquiring one's heart's desire if one cannot handle and gloat over it, show it to one's friends, and gather an anthology of envy and admiration?
Dorothy L. Sayers
There's nothing you can't prove if your outlook is only sufficiently limited.
Dorothy L. Sayers
But you see, I can believe a thing without understanding it. It's all a matter of training.
Dorothy L. Sayers
