For God's sake, all of you, say spiteful things about me, then I shall know I mean something to you. Don't say surgaries, or I'm done.
D. H. Lawrence
I think I am much too valuable a creature to offer myself to a German bullet gratis and for fun.
D. H. Lawrence
But the act, called the sexual act, is not for the depositing of seed. It is for leaping off into the unknown, as from a cliff's edge, like Sappho into the sea.
D. H. Lawrence
The word arse is as much god as the word face. It must be so, otherwise you cut off your god at the waist.
D. H. Lawrence
[Hawthorne''s] pious blame is a chuckle of praise all the while.
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
That was the birth of sin. Not doing it, but KNOWING about it. Before the apple, [Adam and Eve] had shut their eyes and their minds had gone dark. Now, they peeped and pried and imagined. They watched themselves.
D. H. Lawrence
When all comes to all, the most precious element in life is wonder. Love is a great emotion, and power is power. But both love and power are based on wonder.
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
A little morphine in all the air. It would be wonderfully refreshing for everyone.
D. H. Lawrence
So long as you don't feel life's paltry and a miserable business, the rest doesn't matter, happiness or unhappiness.
D. H. Lawrence
What the eye doesn't see and the mind doesn't know, doesn't exist.
D. H. Lawrence
Death is the only pure, beautiful conclusion of a great passion.
D. H. Lawrence
Sleep is still most perfect, in spite of hygienists, when it is shared with a beloved. The warmth, the security and peace of soul, the utter comfort from the touch of the other, knits the sleep, so that it takes the body and soul completely in its healing.
D. H. Lawrence
Sleep is still most perfect, in spite of hygienists, when it is shared with a beloved.
D. H. Lawrence
The nature of the infant is not just a new permutation-and-combination of elements contained in the natures of the parents. There is in the nature of the infant that which is utterly unknown in the natures of the parents.
D. H. Lawrence
Sex is really only touch, the closest of all touch. And it's touch we're afraid of.
D. H. Lawrence
