I can't bear art that you can walk round and admire. A book should be either a bandit or a rebel or a man in the crowd.

More quotes by 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
When one jumps over the edge, one is bound to land somewhere.
D. H. Lawrence
It's bad taste to be wise all the time, like being at a perpetual funeral.
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
Consciousness is an end in itself. We torture ourselves getting somewhere, and when we get there it is nowhere, for there is nowhere to get to.
D. H. Lawrence
I prefer unlucky things. Luck is vulgar. Who wants what luck would bring? I don't.
D. H. Lawrence
The fairest thing in nature, a flower, still has its roots in earth and manure.
D. H. Lawrence
Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.
D. H. Lawrence
There is no such thing as liberty. You only change one sort of domination for another. All we can do is to choose our master.
D. H. Lawrence
They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all, and the wildest, the most urgent.
D. H. Lawrence
What the eye doesn't see and the mind doesn't know, doesn't exist.
D. H. Lawrence
I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.
D. H. Lawrence
Whatever life may be, and whatever horror men have made of it, the world is a lovely place, a magic place, something to marvel over. The world is an amazing place.
D. H. Lawrence
The only principle I can see in this life, is that one must forfeit the less for the greater.
D. H. Lawrence
I can never decide whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts, or my thoughts the result of my dreams.
D. H. Lawrence
Any inhibition must be wrong, since inevitably in the end it causes neurosis and insanity.
D. H. Lawrence
Once you abstract from this, once you generalize and postulate Universals, you have departed from the creative reality, and entered the realm of static fixity, mechanism, materialism.
D. H. Lawrence
While we live, let us live.
D. H. Lawrence
The novel is the one bright book of life. Books are not life. They are only tremulations on the ether. But the novel as a tremulation can make the whole man alive tremble.
D. H. Lawrence
As we all know, too much of any divine thing is destruction
D. H. Lawrence
