Dorothy Sayers

The best remedy for a bruised heart is not, as so many people seem to think, repose upon a manly bosom. Much more efficacious are honest work, physical activity, and sudden acquisition of wealth.
Dorothy Sayers - Gaudy Night
How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.
Dorothy Sayers - Gaudy Night
To be possessed is an admirable reason for possessing.

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.

- Dorothy Sayers
