Ethics and equity and the principles of justice do not change with the calendar.
D. H. Lawrence

I'm not sure if a mental relation with a woman doesn't make it impossible to love her. To know the mind of a woman is to end in hating her. Love means the pre-cognitive flow...it is the honest state before the apple.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The mind has no existence by itself it is only the glitter of the sun on the surface of the waters.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Never was an age more sentimental, more devoid of real feeling, more exaggerated in false feeling, than our own.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Sing then the core of dark and absolute oblivion where the soul at last is lost in utter peace.

D. H. Lawrence
Image

D. H. Lawrence
Image

D. H. Lawrence
Image

D. H. Lawrence
Image

D. H. Lawrence
Image
Nobody can have the soul of me. My mother has had, and nobody can have it again. Nobody can come into my very self again, and breathe me like an atmosphere.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
They say geniuses mostly have great mothers. They mostly have sad fates.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
But then peace, peace! I am so mistrustful of it: so much afraid that it means a sort of weakness and giving in.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
To penetrate into Italy is like a most fascinating act of self-discovery-back, back down the old ways of time. Strange and wonderful chords awake in us, and vibrate again after many hundreds of years of complete forgetfulness.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day, as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I am part of the sun as my eye is of me. That I am part of the earth my feet know perfectly, and my blood is part of the sea.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
In the dust where we have buried the silent races and their abominations we have buried so much of the delicate magic of life.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it... and the journey is always towards the other soul.
