Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe. The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
While the white man keeps the impetus of his own proud, onward march, the dark races will yield and serve, perforce. But let the white man once have a misgiving about his own leadership, and the dark races will at once attack him, to pull him down into the old gulfs.

Be a good animal, true to your animal instincts.

In America the chief accusation seems to be one of Eroticism. This is odd, rather puzzling to my mind. Which Eros? Eros of the jaunty amours, or Eros of the sacred mysteries? And if the latter, why accuse, why not respect, even venerate?

And besides, look at elder flowers and bluebells-they are a sign that pure creation takes place - even the butterfly. But humanity never gets beyond the caterpillar stage -it rots in the chrysalis, it never will have wings.It is anti-creation, like monkeys and baboons.

She was always waiting, it seemed to be her forte.

The trains roared by like projectiles level on the darkness, fuming and burning, making the valley clang with their passage. They were gone, and the lights of the towns and villages glittered in silence.

Image
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.

Image
Sleep is still most perfect, in spite of hygienists, when it is shared with a beloved.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
What one does in one's art, that is the breath of one's being. What one does in one's life, that is a bagatelle for the outsiders to fuss about.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Build then the ship of death, for you must take the longest journey, to oblivion.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The world is wonderful and beautiful and good beyond one's wildest imagination.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The mind is ashamed of the blood. And the blood is destroyed by the mind, actually. Hence palefaces.

It's hard to ravish a tin of sardines.

[Hawthorne''s] pious blame is a chuckle of praise all the while.

When I wish I was rich, then I know I am ill.

Image
Gods should be iridescent, like the rainbow in the storm. Man creates a God in his own image, and the gods grow old along with the men that made them... But the god-stuff roars eternally, like the sea, with too vast a sound to be heard.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Only the flow matters live and let live, love and let love. There is no point in love.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
For how can a man stand, unless he have something sure under his feet. Can a man tread the unstable water all his life, and call that standing? Better give in and drown at once.

Never was an age more sentimental, more devoid of real feeling, more exaggerated in false feeling, than our own.
