More quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
We shall know what things are of overmastering importance when they have overmastered us.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Wherever you find a great man, you will find a great mother or a great wife standing behind him -- or so they used to say. It would be interesting to know how many great women have had great fathers and husbands behind them.
Dorothy L. Sayers
She couldn't have found anything nastier to say if she had thought it out with both hands for a fortnight.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Placetne, magistra? Placet.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Those who make some other person their job... are dangerous.
Dorothy L. Sayers
That you cannot have Christian principles without Christ is becoming increasingly clear, because their validity as principles depends on Christ's authority.
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
We may argue eloquently that 'Honesty is the best Policy' - unfortunately, the moment honesty is adopted for the sake of policy it mysteriously ceases to be honesty.
Dorothy L. Sayers
And what do all the great words come to in the end, but that? I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Forgiveness is the one unpardonable sin.
Dorothy L. Sayers
That there is a secret itself is a secret.
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
Passion's a good, stupid horse that will pull the plough six days a week if you give him the run of his heels on Sundays. But love's a nervous, awkward, over-mastering brute if you can't rein him, it's best to have no truck with him.
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
What we ask is to be human individuals, however peculiar and unexpected. It is no good saying: You are a little girl and therefore you ought to like dolls if the answer is, But I don't, there is no more to be said.
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 first thing a principle does is kill somebody
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
Nothing goes so well with a hot fire and buttered crumpets as a wet day without and a good dose of comfortable horrors within. The heavier the lashing of the rain and the ghastlier the details, the better the flavour seems to be.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Advertise, or go under.
