“She reflected she must be completely besotted with Peter, if his laughter could hallow an aspidistra.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Busman's Honeymoon

“How can I find the words? Poets have taken them all and left me with nothing to say or do"
"Except to teach me for the first time what they meant.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Busman's Honeymoon

“The best remedy for a bruised heart is not, as so many people think, repose upon a manly bosom. Much more efficacious are honest work, physical activity, and the sudden acquisition of wealth.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Have His Carcase

Dorothy L. Sayers
“It is arguable that when Humanists, "Shook off," as people say, "the trammels of religion," and discovered things of this world as objects of veneration in their own right... they began to lose the finer appreciation of even the world itself. Thus to the Christian centuries, the flesh was holy (or sacer at least in one sense or the other), and they veiled its awful majesty; to the Humanist centuries it was divine in its own right, and they exhibited it. Now it is the commonplace of the magazine cover. It has lost its numen. So too with the cult of knowledge for its own sake declining from the Revival of Learning to the Brains Trust.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, Volume 2: Purgatorio

Dorothy L. Sayers
“We've got to laugh or break our hearts in this damnable world.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Busman's Honeymoon
