More quotes by 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
Sing then the core of dark and absolute oblivion where the soul at last is lost in utter peace.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
When love turns into dust, money becomes the substitution.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
She was always waiting, it seemed to be her forte.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The human being is a most curious creature. He thinks he has got one soul, and he has got dozens.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The mind is ashamed of the blood. And the blood is destroyed by the mind, actually. Hence palefaces.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Every profound new movement makes a great swing also backwards to some older, half-forgotten way of consciousness.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
There is nothing to save, now all is lost, but a tiny core of stillness in the heart like the eye of a violet.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Consciousness is an end in itself. We torture ourselves getting somewhere, and when we get there it is nowhere, for there is nowhere to get to.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
There is no such thing as liberty. You only change one sort of domination for another. All we can do is to choose our master.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
It is so much more difficult to live with one's body than with one's soul. One's body is so much more exacting: what it won't have it won't have, and nothing can make bitter into sweet.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
No absolute is going to make the lion lie down with the lamb: unless the lamb is inside.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind - intimacy, physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
In America the cohesion was a matter of choice and will. But in Europe it was organic.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The # cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all, and the wildest, the most urgent.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Any inhibition must be wrong, since inevitably in the end it causes neurosis and insanity.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
We are so overwhelmed with quantities of books, that we hardly realise any more that a book can be valuable, valuable like a jewel, or a lovely picture, into which you can look deeper and deeper and get a more profound experience every time.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Without secrecy there would be no pornography. But secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things.
