Quote

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.

More quotes by D. H. Lawrence

Image
The history of our era is the nauseating and repulsive history of the crucifixion of the procreative body for the glorification ofthe spirit.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
America is neither free nor brave, but a land of tight, iron-clanking little wills, everybody trying to put it over everybody else, and a land of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of trust, trust in life's sacred spontaneity. They can't trust life until they can control it.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Sentimentalism is the working off on yourself of feelings you haven't really got.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I always feel as if I stood naked for the fire of Almighty God to go through me--and it's rather an awful feeling. One has to be so terribly religious to be an artist.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
There are three cures for ennui: sleep, drink and travel.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The Spanish wine, my God, it is foul, catpiss is champagne compared, this is the sulphurous urination of some aged horse.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
[Man's] life consists in a relation with all things: stone, earth, trees, flowers, water, insects, fishes, birds, creatures, sun,rainbow, children, women, other men. But his greatest and final relation is with the sun.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
All this Americanising and mechanising has been for the purpose of overthrowing the past. And now look at America, tangled in her own barbed wire, and mastered by her own machines.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The true self is not aware that it is a self. A bird, as it sings, sings itself. But not according to a picture. It has no idea of itself.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Are you willing to be sponged out, erased, cancelled, made nothing? Are you willing to be made nothing? Dipped into oblivion? If not, you will never really change.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I would like [the working man] to give me back books and newspapers and theories. And I would like to give him back, in return, his old insouciance, and rich, original spontaneity and fullness of life.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
You've got to know yourself so you can at last be yourself.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
In America the cohesion was a matter of choice and will. But in Europe it was organic.
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
We are so conceited and so unproud.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Sex is just another form of talk, where you act the words instead of saying them.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it.
D. H. Lawrence
