More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
A snake came to my water trough On a hot, hot day, and I in pajamas for the heat, To drink there.
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
Sentimentalism is the working off on yourself of feelings you haven't really got.
D. H. Lawrence
Behold then Septimus Dodge returning to Dodge-town victorious. Not crowned with laurel, it is true, but wreathed in lists of things he has seen and sucked dry. Seen and sucked dry, you know: Venus de Milo, the Rhine or the Coliseum: swallowed like so many clams, and left the shells.
D. H. Lawrence
We are dying, we are dying, piecemeal our bodies are dying and our strength leaves us, and our soul cowers naked in the dark rain over the flood, cowering in the last branches of the tree of our life.
D. H. Lawrence
A man must keep his earnestness nimble, to escape ridicule.
D. H. Lawrence
I am part of the sun as my eye is of me. That I am part of the earth my feet know perfectly, and my blood is part of the sea.
D. H. Lawrence
Pure morality is only an instinctive adjustment which the soul makes.
D. H. Lawrence
You can't insure against the future, except by really believing in the best bit of you, and in the power beyond it.
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
No absolute is going to make the lion lie down with the lamb: unless the lamb is inside.
D. H. Lawrence
I want us to be together without bothering about ourselves- to be really together because we ARE together, as if it were a phenomenon, not a thing we have to maintain by our own effort.
D. H. Lawrence
We are dying, we are dying, we are all of us dying and nothing will stay the death-flood rising within us and soon it will rise on the world, on the outside world.
D. H. Lawrence
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
And to my lips' Bright crimson rim The passion slips, And down my slim White body drips The shining hymn.
D. H. Lawrence
Now go away then, and leave me alone. I don't want any more of your meretricious persiflage.
D. H. Lawrence
[During the Renaissance] the Italians said, We are one in the Father: we will go back. The Northern races said, We are one in Christ, we will go on.
D. H. Lawrence
All that we know is nothing, we are merely crammed wastepaper baskets, unless we are in touch with that which laughs at all our knowing.
D. H. Lawrence
The world is wonderful and beautiful and good beyond one's wildest imagination.
D. H. Lawrence
Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless.
D. H. Lawrence
