Dorothy Sayers' Wisdom


"None of us feels the true love of God till we realize how wicked we are. But you can't teach people that - they have to learn by experience."

"The great advantage about telling the truth is that nobody ever believes it."

"A human being must have an occupation, if he or she is not to become a nuisance in the world."

"Death seems to provide the mind of the Anglo-Saxon race with a greater fund of amusement than any other single subject."

"As I grow older and older, and totter toward the tomb, I find that I care less and less who goes to bed with whom.
