More quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
The English language has a deceptive air of simplicity so have some little frocks but they are both not the kind of thing you can run up in half an hour with a machine.
Dorothy L. Sayers
I know what you're thinking - that anybody with proper sensitive feelings would rather scrub floors for a living. But I should scrub floors very badly, and I write detective stories rather well. I don't see why proper feelings should prevent me from doing my proper job.
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
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
It's not the innocent young things that need gentle handling--it's the ones that have been frightened and hurt.
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
What we make is more important than what we are, particularly if making is our profession.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It is the first duty of a gentleman to remember in the morning who he went to bed with the night before.
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
She couldn't have found anything nastier to say if she had thought it out with both hands for a fortnight.
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
There are times when one is tempted to say that the great, sprawling, lethargic sin of Sloth is the oldest and greatest of the sins and the parent of all the rest.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The one thing which seems to me quite impossible is to take into consideration the kind of book one is expected to write surely one can only write the book that is there to be written.
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
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
Plain lies are dangerous.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It is not the business of the church to adapt Christ to men, but men to Christ.
Dorothy L. Sayers
There's nothing you can't prove if your outlook is only sufficiently limited.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Why? Oh, well - I thought you'd be rather an attractive person to marry. That's all. I mean, I sort of took a fancy to you. I can't tell you why. There's no rule about it, you know.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Oh, well, faint heart never won so much as a scrap of paper
Dorothy L. Sayers
