More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
The picture must all come out of the artist's inside, awareness of forms and figures... It is more than memory. It is the image as it lives in the consciousness, alive like a vision, but unknown.
D. H. Lawrence
They lived freely among the students, they argued with the men over philosophical, sociological and artistic matters, they were just as good as the men themselves: only better, since they were women.
D. H. Lawrence
Build then the ship of death, for you must take the longest journey, to oblivion.
D. H. Lawrence
Men are free when they are obeying some deep, inward voice of religious belief. Obeying from within. Men are free when they belong to a living, organic, believing community, active in fulfilling some unfulfilled, perhaps unrealized purpose. Not when they are escaping to some wild west. The most unfree souls go west, and shout of freedom.
D. H. Lawrence
We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
D. H. Lawrence
Only the flow matters live and let live, love and let love. There is no point in love.
D. H. Lawrence
Obscenity only comes in when the mind despises and fears the body, and the body hates and resists the mind.
D. H. Lawrence
I always feel as if I stood naked for the fire of Almighty God to go through me--and it's rather an awful feeling. One has to be so terribly religious to be an artist.
D. H. Lawrence
There is nothing to save, now all is lost, but a tiny core of stillness in the heart like the eye of a violet.
D. H. Lawrence
I can never decide whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts, or my thoughts the result of my dreams.
D. H. Lawrence
When I wish I was rich, then I know I am ill.
D. H. Lawrence
The great mass of humanity should never learn to read or write.
D. H. Lawrence
What the eye doesn't see and the mind doesn't know, doesn't exist.
D. H. Lawrence
Having achieved and accomplished love, then the man passes into the unknown. He has become himself, his tale is told.
D. H. Lawrence
The more I see of democracy the more I dislike it. It just brings everything down to the mere vulgar level of wages and prices, electric light and water closets, and nothing else.
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
There is only one thing that a man really wants to do, all his life and that is, to find his way to his God, his Morning Star, salute his fellow man, and enjoy the woman who has come the long way with him.
D. H. Lawrence
The great virtue in life is real courage that knows how to face facts and live beyond them.
D. H. Lawrence
... he preferred his own madness, to the regular sanity. He rejoiced in his own madness, he was free. He did not want that old sanity of the world, which was become so repulsive. He rejoiced in the new-found world of his madness. It was so fresh and delicate and so satisfying.
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
