More quotes by 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
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
The keeping of an idle woman is a badge of superior social status.
Dorothy L. Sayers
We've got to laugh or break our hearts in this damnable world.
Dorothy L. Sayers
[O]ne can scarcely be frightened off writing what one wants to write for fear an obscure reviewer should patronise one on that account.
Dorothy L. Sayers
You cannot do good work if you take your mind off the work to see how the community is taking it.
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
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
For the sole true end of education is simply this: to teach men how to learn for themselves and whatever instruction fails to do this is effort spent in vain.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Never think that wars are irrational catastrophes: they happen when wrong ways of thinking and living bring about intolerable situations ... the root causes of conflict are usually to be found in some wrong way of life in which all parties have acquiesced, and for which everybody must, to some extent, bear the blame.
Dorothy L. Sayers
... to mention honor was to suggest its opposite.
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
Very dangerous things, theories.
Dorothy L. Sayers
There is also one excellent reason why the veriest amateur may feel entitled to have an opinion about education. For if we are not all professional teachers, we have all, at some time or other, been taught. Even if we learned nothing-perhaps in particular if we learned nothing-our contribution to the discussion may have a potential value.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It was left for the present age to endow Covetousness with glamour on a big scale, and to give it a title which it could carry like a flag. It occurred to somebody to call it Enterprise. From the moment of that happy inspiration, Covetousness has gone forward and never looked back.
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.

The first thing a principle does is kill somebody
Dorothy L. Sayers
If you want your own way, God will let you have it. Hell is the enjoyment of one's own way forever.
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'?).
Dorothy L. Sayers
Those who make some other person their job... are dangerous.
Dorothy L. Sayers
