More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
The great mass of humanity should never learn to read or write.
D. H. Lawrence
[Man's] life consists in a relation with all things: stone, earth, trees, flowers, water, insects, fishes, birds, creatures, sun,rainbow, children, women, other men. But his greatest and final relation is with the sun.
D. H. Lawrence
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
The elephant, the huge old beast, is slow to mate
D. H. Lawrence
No form of love is wrong, so long as it is love, and you yourself honour what you are doing. Love has an extraordinary variety of forms! And that is all that there is in life, it seems to me.
D. H. Lawrence
That which one cannot experience in daily life is not true for oneself.
D. H. Lawrence
I will wait and watch till the day of David at last shall be finished, and wisdom no more fox-faced, and the blood gets back its flame.
D. H. Lawrence
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
Sacred love is selfless, seeking not its own. The lover serves his beloved and seeks perfect communion of oneness with her.
D. H. Lawrence
The unhappiness of a wife with a good husband is much more devastating than the unhappiness of a wife with a bad husband.
D. H. Lawrence
One could laugh at the world better if it didn't mix tender kindliness with its brutality.
D. H. Lawrence
The sense of wonder, that is our sixth sense.
D. H. Lawrence
The modern pantheist not only sees the god in everything, he takes photographs of it.
D. H. Lawrence
I always feel as if I stood naked for the fire of Almighty God to go through me--and it's rather an awful feeling. One has to be so terribly religious to be an artist.
D. H. Lawrence
You don't want to be an animal, you want to observe your own animal functions, so as to get a mental thrill out of them. It is allpurely secondary--and more decadent than the most hide-bound intellectualism.
D. H. Lawrence
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
Only the desert has a fascination--to ride alone--in the sun in the forever unpossessed country--away from man. That is a great temptation.
D. H. Lawrence
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
We don't exist unless we are deeply and sensually in touch with that which can be touched but not known.
D. H. Lawrence
The trains roared by like projectiles level on the darkness, fuming and burning, making the valley clang with their passage. They were gone, and the lights of the towns and villages glittered in silence.
