Truth Quote by Dorothy L. Sayers — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Facts are like cows. If you look them in the face long enough, they generally run away.”

“What do we find God 'doing about' this business of sin and evil?...God did not abolish the fact of evil; He transformed it. He did not stop the Crucifixion; He rose from the dead.”

“Here be dragons to be slain, here be rich rewards to gain;”

“How can I find the words? Poets have taken them all and left me with nothing to say or do”

“The only ethical principle which has made science possible is that the truth shall be told all the time. If we do not penalize false statements made in error, we open up the way for false statements by intention. And a false statement of fact, made deliberately, is the most serious crime a scientist can commit.”

“Self-manipulation is our medication. Mythology is our drug. The only cure is honesty.”

“Today wouldn't have happened if histories weren't falsified.”

“A novel must show how the world truly is, how characters genuinely think, how events actually occur. A novel should somehow reveal the true source of our actions.”

“Worship your body, beauty, and sexual allure and you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you.”

“I worship impersonal Nature, which is neither "good" or "bad", and who knows neither love nor hatred. I worship Life; the Sun, Sustainer of life. I believe in the Law of everlasting struggle, which is the law of life, and in the duty of the best specimens of our race — the natural élite of mankind — to rule the earth, and evolve out of themselves a caste of supermen, a people 'like unto the Gods'.”

“You know what they say about air and water when it comes to fire, don’t you?” she asks.”
