Every civilization when it loses its inner vision and its cleaner energy, falls into a new sort of sordidness, more vast and more stupendous than the old savage sort. An Augean stable of metallic filth.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

D. H. Lawrence
Image
Evil, what is evil? There is only one evil, to deny life As Rome denied Etruria And mechanical America Montezuma still
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Sentimentalism is the working off on yourself of feelings you haven't really got.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Nothing is as bad as a marriage that's a hopeless failure.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The purest lesson our era has taught is that man, at his highest, is an individual, single, isolate, alone, in direct soul-communication with the unknown God, which prompts within him.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Only youth has a taste of immortality.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Tragedy looks to me like man in love with his own defeat. Which is only a sloppy way of being in love with yourself.
D. H. Lawrence

A snake came to my water trough On a hot, hot day, and I in pajamas for the heat, To drink there.

Sex is the one thing you cannot really swindle and it is the centre of the worst swindling of all, emotional swindling.... Sex lashes out against counterfeit emotion, and is ruthless, devastating against false love.
