More quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
I gather that he nearly knocked you down, damaged your property, and generally made a nuisance of himself, and that you instantly concluded he must be some relation to me.
Dorothy L. Sayers
No share-pusher could vend his worthless stock, if he could not count on meeting, in his prospective victim, an unscrupulous avarice as vicious as his own, but stupider. Every time a man expects, as he says, his money to work for him, he is expecting other people to work for him.
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
the heaviest restriction upon the freedom of public opinion is not the official censorship of the Press, but the unofficial censorship by a Press which exists not so much to express opinion as to manufacture it.
Dorothy L. Sayers
But that's men all over ... Poor dears, they can't help it. They haven't got logical minds.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It is not the business of the church to adapt Christ to men, but men to Christ.
Dorothy L. Sayers
I have the most ill-regulated memory. It does those things which it ought not to do and leaves undone the things it ought to have done. But it has not yet gone on strike altogether.
Dorothy L. Sayers
If anybody ever marries you, it will be for the pleasure of hearing you talk piffle
Dorothy L. Sayers
I admit it is better fun to punt than be punted, and that a desire to have all the fun is nine-tenths of the law of chivalry.
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
The great advantage about telling the truth is that nobody ever believes it.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The rule seemed to be that a great woman must either die unwed ... or find a still greater man to marry her. ... The great man, on the other hand, could marry where he liked, not being restricted to great women indeed, it was often found sweet and commendable in him to choose a woman of no sort of greatness at all.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Oh, well, faint heart never won so much as a scrap of paper
Dorothy L. Sayers
But you see, I can believe a thing without understanding it. It's all a matter of training.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Sex is every man's loco spot ... he'll take a disappointment, but not a humiliation.
Dorothy L. Sayers
you can give it a long name if you like, but I'm an old-fashioned woman and I call it mother-wit, and it's so rare for a man to have it that if he does you write a book about him and call him Sherlock Holmes.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Very dangerous things, theories.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Every great man has a woman behind him ... And every great woman has some man or other in front of her, tripping her up.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The artist's knowledge of his own creative nature is often unconscious he pursues his mysterious way of life in a strange innocence.
Dorothy L. Sayers
... at no point have I yet found artistic truth and theological truth at variance.
Dorothy L. Sayers
