For my part, I prefer my heart to be broken. It is so lovely, dawn-kaleidoscopic within the crack.

More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
I wonder which was more frightened among old tribes -- those bursting out of their darkness of woods upon all the space of light, or those from the open tiptoeing into the forests.
D. H. Lawrence
I am turned into a dream. I feel nothing, or I don't know what I feel. Yet it seems to me I am happy.
D. H. Lawrence
There are three cures for ennui: sleep, drink and travel.
D. H. Lawrence
Now the only decent way to get something done is to get it done by somebody who quite likes doing it.
D. H. Lawrence
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
The goal is to know how not-to-know.
D. H. Lawrence
Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one, but there is also a third thing, that makes it water and nobody knows what that is.
D. H. Lawrence
The reaction to any word may be, in an individual, either a mob-reaction or an individual reaction. It is up to the individual to ask himself: Is my reaction individual, or am I merely reacting from my mob-self? When it comes to the so-called obscene words, I should say that hardly one person in a million escapes mob-reaction.
D. H. Lawrence
A house o' women is as dead as a house wi' no fire, to my thinkin'. I'm not a spider as likes to corner myself. I like a man about, if he's only something to snap at.
D. H. Lawrence
Primarily I am a passionately religious man, and my novels must be written from the depth of my religious experience.
D. H. Lawrence
I will wait and watch till the day of David at last shall be finished, and wisdom no more fox-faced, and the blood gets back its flame.
D. H. Lawrence
Men! The only animal in the world to fear.
D. H. Lawrence
Truth does not lie beyond humanity, but is one of the products of the human mind and feeling.
D. H. Lawrence
Build then the ship of death, for you must take the longest journey, to oblivion.
D. H. Lawrence
Pure morality is only an instinctive adjustment which the soul makes.
D. H. Lawrence
The east is not for me--the sensuous spiritual voluptuousness, the curious sensitiveness of the naked people, their black, bottomless, hopeless eyes.
D. H. Lawrence
Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day, as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer.
D. H. Lawrence
My God, what a clumsy olla putrida James Joyce is! Nothing but old fags and cabbage stumps of quotations from the Bible and the rest, stewed in the juice of deliberate, journalistic dirty-mindedness—what old and hard-worked staleness, masquerading as the all-new!
D. H. Lawrence
You've got to know yourself so you can at last be yourself.
D. H. Lawrence
Since obscenity is the truth of our passion today, it is the only stuff of art -- or almost the only stuff.
D. H. Lawrence
