More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.
D. H. Lawrence
I am convinced that the majority of people to-day have good, generous feelings which they can never know, never experience, because of some fear, some repression. I do not believe that people would be villains, thieves, murderers and sexual criminals if they were freed from legal restraint.
D. H. Lawrence
Now go away then, and leave me alone. I don't want any more of your meretricious persiflage.
D. H. Lawrence
The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great nerve center from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that Saturn has over us, or Venus? But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time.
D. H. Lawrence
We are so conceited and so unproud.
D. H. Lawrence
A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it.
D. H. Lawrence
Now the only decent way to get something done is to get it done by somebody who quite likes doing it.
D. H. Lawrence
Sing then the core of dark and absolute oblivion where the soul at last is lost in utter peace.
D. H. Lawrence
The only history is a mere question of one's struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.
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
Men and women aren't really dogs: they only look like it and behave like it. Somewhere inside there is a great chagrin and a gnawing discontent.
D. H. Lawrence
What the eye doesn't see and the mind doesn't know, doesn't exist.
D. H. Lawrence
For, of course, being a girl, one’s whole dignity and meaning in life consisted in the achievement of an absolute, a perfect, a pure and noble freedom. What else did a girl’s life mean?
D. H. Lawrence
But I like the feel of men on things, while they're alive. There's a feel of men about trucks, because they've been handled with men's hands, all of them.
D. H. Lawrence
Why were we driven out of Paradise? Why did we fall into this gnawing disease of unappeasable dissatisfaction? Not because we sinned. Ah, no. All the animals in Paradise enjoyed the sensual passion of coition. Not because we sinned. But because we got sex into our head.
D. H. Lawrence
There is only one thing that a man really wants to do, all his life and that is, to find his way to his God, his Morning Star, salute his fellow man, and enjoy the woman who has come the long way with him.
D. H. Lawrence
If we lose our sanity ... We can but howl the lugubrious howl of idiots, the howl of the utterly lost howling their nowhereness.
D. H. Lawrence
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
Far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances.
D. H. Lawrence
No absolute is going to make the lion lie down with the lamb: unless the lamb is inside.
D. H. Lawrence
