Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Now go away then, and leave me alone. I don't want any more of your meretricious persiflage.
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
The more scholastically educated a man is generally, the more he is an emotional boor.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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
Image
Truth does not lie beyond humanity, but is one of the products of the human mind and feeling.
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
For whereas the mind works in possibilities, the intuitions work in actualities, and what you intuitively desire, that is possible to you. Whereas what you mentally or consciously desire is nine times out of ten impossible hitch your wagon to a star, or you will just stay where you are.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
She looked at him, and oh, the weariness to her, of the effort to understand another language, the weariness of hearing him, attending to him, making out who he was, as he stood there fair-bearded and alien, looking at her. She knew something of him, of his eyes. But she could not grasp him. She closed her eyes.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
When I went to the scientific doctor I realised what a lust there was in him to wreak his so-called science on me and reduce me to the level of a thing. So I said: Good-morning! and left him.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The tragedy is when you've got sex in the head instead of down where it belongs.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Only the flow matters live and let live, love and let love. There is no point in love.
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
When passion is dead, or absent, then the magnificent throb of beauty is incomprehensible and even a little despicable.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The final aim is not to know, but to be.... You've got to know yourself so that you can at last be yourself. Be yourself is the last motto.
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
And what's romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything As You Like It, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose and it's always daisy-time.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Without secrecy there would be no pornography. But secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things.

When van Gogh paints sunflowers, he reveals, or achieves, the vivid relation between himself, as man, and the sunflower, as sunflower, at that quick moment of time. His painting does not represent the sunflower itself. We shall never know what the sunflower itself is. And the camera will visualize the sunflower far more perfectly than van Gogh can.
