-
If a woman's got nothing but her fair fame to feed on, why, it's thin tack, and a donkey would die of it!
D. H. Lawrence -
Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.
D. H. Lawrence
-
The cruelest thing a man can do to a woman is to portray her as perfection.
D. H. Lawrence -
This is the very worst wickedness, that we refuse to acknowledge the passionate evil that is in us. This makes us secret and rotten.
D. H. Lawrence -
The business of art is to reveal the relation between man and his environment.
D. H. Lawrence -
I can't bear art that you can walk round and admire. A book should be either a bandit or a rebel or a man in the crowd.
D. H. Lawrence -
Psychoanalysis is out, under a therapeutic disguise, to do away entirely with the moral faculty in man.
D. H. Lawrence -
Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.
D. H. Lawrence
-
Men and women should stay apart, till their hearts grow gentle towards one another again.
D. H. Lawrence -
The American grips himself, at the very sources of his consciousness, in a grip of care: and then, to so much of the rest of life, is indifferent. Whereas, the European hasn't got so much care in him, so he cares much more for life and living.
D. H. Lawrence -
Ours is an excessively conscious age. We know so much, we feel so little.
D. H. Lawrence -
The great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman. The man embraces in the woman all that is not himself, and from that one resultant, from that embrace, comes every new action.
D. H. Lawrence -
The human being is a most curious creature. He thinks he has got one soul, and he has got dozens.
D. H. Lawrence -
The soul is a very perfect judge of her own motions, if your mind doesn't dictate to her.
D. H. Lawrence
-
Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken.
D. H. Lawrence -
So long as you don't feel life's paltry and a miserable business, the rest doesn't matter, happiness or unhappiness.
D. H. Lawrence -
Night, in which everything was lost, went reaching out, beyond stars and sun. Stars and sun, a few bright grains, went spiraling round for terror, and holding each other in embrace, there in a darkness that outpassed them all, and left them tiny and daunted. So much, and himself, infinitesimal, at the core of nothingness, and yet not nothing.
D. H. Lawrence -
Where the electron behaves and misbehaves as it will, where the forces tie themselves up into knots of atoms and come united.
D. H. Lawrence -
Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless.
D. H. Lawrence -
I can't do with mountains at close quarters - they are always in the way, and they are so stupid, never moving and never doing anything but obtrude themselves.
D. H. Lawrence
-
The mind can assert anything and pretend it has proved it. My beliefs I test on my body, on my intuitional consciousness, and when I get a response there, then I accept.
D. H. Lawrence -
Do not allow to slip away from you freedoms the people who came before you won with such hard knocks.
D. H. Lawrence -
It's bad taste to be wise all the time, like being at a perpetual funeral.
D. H. Lawrence -
Every man has a mob self and an individual self, in varying proportions.
D. H. Lawrence
