More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
Don't be sucked in by the su-superior, don't swallow the culture bait, don't drink, don't drink and get beerier and beerier, do learn to discriminate.
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
Our civilisation cannot afford to let the censor-moron loose. The censor-moron does not really hate anything but the living and growing human consciousness.
D. H. Lawrence
Sex is just another form of talk, where you act the words instead of saying them.
D. H. Lawrence
The novel is the highest example of subtle interrelatedness that man has discovered.
D. H. Lawrence
Pure morality is only an instinctive adjustment which the soul makes.
D. H. Lawrence
To penetrate into Italy is like a most fascinating act of self-discovery-back, back down the old ways of time. Strange and wonderful chords awake in us, and vibrate again after many hundreds of years of complete forgetfulness.
D. H. Lawrence
But the effort, the effort! And as the marrow is eaten out of a man's bones and the soul out of his belly, contending with the strange rapacity of savage life, the lower stage of creation, he cannot make the effort any more.
D. H. Lawrence
He knew that conscience was chiefly fear of society or fear of oneself.
D. H. Lawrence
I have lived among enough painters and around studios to have had all the theories - and how contradictory they are - rammed down my throat. A man has to have a gizzard like an ostrich to digest all the brass-tacks and wire nails of modern art theories.
D. H. Lawrence
[Hawthorne''s] pious blame is a chuckle of praise all the while.
D. H. Lawrence
Good God, what does it matter? If life is a tragedy, or a farce, or a disaster, or anything else, what do I care! Let life be what it likes. Give me a drink, that's what I want just now.
D. H. Lawrence
Without secrecy there would be no pornography. But secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things.
D. H. Lawrence
And every true artist is the salvation of every other. But only artists produce for each other the world that is fit to live in.
D. H. Lawrence
The love between man and woman is the greatest and most complete passion the world will ever see, because it is dual, because it is of two opposing kinds.
D. H. Lawrence
The deadly Hydra now is the hydra of Equality. Liberty, Equality and Fraternity is the three-fanged serpent.
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
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
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
Plant consciousness, insect consciousness, fish consciousness, all are related by one permanent element, which we may call the religious element inherent in all life, even in a flea: the sense of wonder. That is our sixth sense, and it is the natural religious sense.
D. H. Lawrence
