Quote

Be careful, then, and be gentle about death. For it is hard to die, it is difficult to go through the door, even when it opens.

I prefer unlucky things. Luck is vulgar. Who wants what luck would bring? I don't.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The word arse is as much god as the word face. It must be so, otherwise you cut off your god at the waist.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The only principle I can see in this life, is that one must forfeit the less for the greater.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I am only half there when I am ill, and so there is only half a man to suffer. To suffer in one's whole self is so great a violation, that it is not to be endured.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
One could laugh at the world better if it didn't mix tender kindliness with its brutality.
D. H. Lawrence

In America the cohesion was a matter of choice and will. But in Europe it was organic.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Democracy and equality try to denythe mystic recognition of difference and innate priority, the joy of obedience and the sacred responsibility of authority.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I have a very great fear of love. It is so personal. Let each bird fly with its own wings, and each fish swim its own course.--Morning brings more than love. And I want to be true to the morning.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Instead of chopping yourself down to fit the world, chop the world down to fit yourself.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The more scholastically educated a man is generally, the more he is an emotional boor.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Men always do leave off really thinking, when the last bit of wild animal dies in them.
D. H. Lawrence
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
Religion was fading into the background. He had shovelled away all the beliefs that would hamper him, had cleared the ground, and come more or less to the bedrock of belief that one should feel inside oneself for right or wrong, and should have the patience to gradually realise one's God. Now life interested him more.
D. H. Lawrence

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
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.

And what's romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything As You Like It, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose and it's always daisy-time.

Image
Pure morality is only an instinctive adjustment which the soul makes.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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.
