Brave people add up to an aristocracy. The democracy of thou-shalt-not is bound to be a collection of weak men.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The mystery of the evening-star brilliant in silence and distance between the downward-surging plunge of the sun and the vast, hollow seething of inpouring night. The magnificence of the watchful morning-star, that watches between the night and the day, the gleaming clue to the two opposites.
D. H. Lawrence

D. H. Lawrence
Image
When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego ... things will happen to us so that we don't know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Homer was wrong in saying, Would that strife might pass away from among gods and men! He did not see that he was praying for the destruction of the universe.

Image
Only in a novel are all things given full play.

Image
I cannot get any sense of an enemy - only of a disaster.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I like relativity and quantum theories because I don't understand them and they make me feel as if space shifted about like a swan that can't settle, refusing to sit still and be measured and as if the atom were an impulsive thing always changing its mind.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
That which one cannot experience in daily life is not true for oneself.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
O pity the dead that are dead, but cannot make the journey, still they moan and beat against the silvery adamant walls of life's exclusive city.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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
Image
Along the avenue of cypresses, All in their scarlet cloaks and surplices Of linen, go the chanting choristers, The priests in gold and black, the villagers. . . .

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.
