More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
Men are free when they belong to a living, organic, believing community, active in fulfilling some unfulfilled, perhaps unrealized purpose.
D. H. Lawrence
They say geniuses mostly have great mothers. They mostly have sad fates.
D. H. Lawrence
Without secrecy there would be no pornography. But secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things.
D. H. Lawrence
I'll do my life work, sticking up for the love between man and woman.
D. H. Lawrence
In America the cohesion was a matter of choice and will. But in Europe it was organic.
D. H. Lawrence
It is quite true, as some poets said, that the God who created man must have had a sinister sense of humor, creating him a reasonable being, yet forcing him to take this ridiculous posture, and driving him with blind craving for this ridiculous performance.
D. H. Lawrence
Censors are dead men set up to judge between life and death. For no live, sunny man would be a censor, he'd just laugh.
D. H. Lawrence
And to my lips' Bright crimson rim The passion slips, And down my slim White body drips The shining hymn.
D. H. Lawrence
[Hawthorne''s] pious blame is a chuckle of praise all the while.
D. H. Lawrence
You've got to know yourself so you can at last be yourself.
D. H. Lawrence
The great mass of humanity should never learn to read or write.
D. H. Lawrence
You don't want to love - your eternal and abnormal craving is to be loved. You aren't positive, you're negative. You absorb, absorb, as if you must fill yourself up with love, because you've got a shortage somewhere.
D. H. Lawrence
That is your trick, your bit of filthy magic: invisibility, and the anaesthetic power to deaden my attention in your direction.
D. H. Lawrence
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
The novel is the highest example of subtle interrelatedness that man has discovered.
D. H. Lawrence
How ravished one could be without ever being touched. Ravished by dead words become obscene and dead ideas become obsessions.
D. H. Lawrence
Morality in the novel is the trembling instability of the balance. When the novelist puts his thumb in the scale, to pull down the balance to his own predilection, that is immorality.
D. H. Lawrence
In the dust where we have buried the silent races and their abominations we have buried so much of the delicate magic of life.
D. H. Lawrence
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
No creature is fully itself till it is, like the dandelion, opened in the bloom of pure relationship to the sun, the entire living cosmos.
D. H. Lawrence
