I'm getting very old and my bones ache. My sins are deserting me, and if I could only have my time over again I'd take care to commit more of them.

More quotes by 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 complain that man measures God by his own experience is a waste of time man measures everything by his own experience he has no other yardstick.
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
Do you know how to pick a lock? Not in the least, I'm afraid. I often wonder what we go to school for, said Wimsey.
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
All the children seem to be coming out quite intelligent, thank goodness. It would have been such a bore to be the mother of morons, and it’s an absolute toss-up, isn’t it? If one could only invent them, like characters in books, it would be much more satisfactory to a well-regulated mind.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The war has jerked us pretty sharply into consciousness about this slug-a-bed sin of Sloth, and perhaps we need not say too much about it. But two warnings are rather necessary.
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
First I believe it to be a grave mistake to present Christianity as something charming and popular with no offense inn it.
Dorothy L. Sayers
whereas, up to the present, there is only one known way of getting born, there are endless ways of getting killed.
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
We shall know what things are of overmastering importance when they have overmastered us.
Dorothy L. Sayers
A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought.
Dorothy L. Sayers
I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home.
Dorothy L. Sayers
make no mistake about it, the detective-story is part of the literature of escape, and not of expression.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The popular mind has grown so confused that it is no longer able to receive any statement of fact except as an expression of personal feeling.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The people who hanged Christ never, to do them justice, accused Him of being a bore - on the contrary they thought Him too dynamic to be safe. It has been left for later generations to muffle up that shattering personality and surround Him with an atmosphere of tedium.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Forgiveness is the one unpardonable sin.
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
