Dorothy L. Sayers

The worst sin - perhaps the only sin - passion can commit, is to be joyless.

I always have a quotation for everything, it saves original thinking.

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

Books...are like lobster shells, we surround ourselves with 'em, then we grow out of 'em and leave 'em behind, as evidence of our earlier stages of development.

A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought.
