More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
A man will part with anything so long as he's drunk, and you're drunk with him.
D. H. Lawrence
Sex is just another form of talk, where you act the words instead of saying them.
D. H. Lawrence
In America the chief accusation seems to be one of Eroticism. This is odd, rather puzzling to my mind. Which Eros? Eros of the jaunty amours, or Eros of the sacred mysteries? And if the latter, why accuse, why not respect, even venerate?
D. H. Lawrence
Not that the Red Indian will ever possess the broad lands of America. At least I presume not. But his ghost will.
D. H. Lawrence
Men always do leave off really thinking, when the last bit of wild animal dies in them.
D. H. Lawrence
And if tonight my soul may find her peace in sleep, and sink in good oblivion, and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created.
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
Censors are dead men set up to judge between life and death. For no live, sunny man would be a censor, he'd just laugh.
D. H. Lawrence
What's that as flies without wings, your ladyship? Time! Time!
D. H. Lawrence
I like to write when I feel spiteful it's like having a good sneeze.
D. H. Lawrence
No creature is fully itself till it is, like the dandelion, opened in the bloom of pure relationship to the sun, the entire living cosmos.
D. H. Lawrence
Why does the thin grey strand Floating up from the forgotten Cigarette between my fingers, Why does it trouble me?
D. H. Lawrence
The goal is to know how not-to-know.
D. H. Lawrence
I got the blues thinking of the future, so I left off and made some marmalade. It's amazing how it cheers one up to shred orange and scrub the floor.
D. H. Lawrence
I shall be glad when you have strangled the invincible respectability that dogs your steps.
D. H. Lawrence
Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
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
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.
D. H. Lawrence
California is a queer place in a way, it has turned its back on the world, and looks into the void Pacific. It is absolutely selfish, very empty, but not false, and at least, not full of false effort.
D. H. Lawrence
Gods should be iridescent, like the rainbow in the storm. Man creates a God in his own image, and the gods grow old along with the men that made them... But the god-stuff roars eternally, like the sea, with too vast a sound to be heard.
D. H. Lawrence
