One doesn't know, till one is a bit at odds with the world, how much one's friends who believe in one rather generously, mean to one.

More quotes by 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
A man must keep his earnestness nimble, to escape ridicule.
D. H. Lawrence
Nobody can have the soul of me. My mother has had, and nobody can have it again. Nobody can come into my very self again, and breathe me like an atmosphere.
D. H. Lawrence
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.
D. H. Lawrence
The English people on the whole are surely the nicest people in the world, and everybody makes everything so easy for everyone else, that there is almost nothing to resist at all.
D. H. Lawrence
Consciousness is an end in itself. We torture ourselves getting somewhere, and when we get there it is nowhere, for there is nowhere to get to.
D. H. Lawrence
Men and women aren't really dogs: they only look like it and behave like it. Somewhere inside there is a great chagrin and a gnawing discontent.
D. H. Lawrence
And if tonight my soul may find her peace in sleep, and sink in good oblivion, and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created.
D. H. Lawrence
Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.
D. H. Lawrence
Gods die with men who have conceived them. But the god-stuff roars eternally, like the sea, with too vast a sound to be heard.
D. H. Lawrence
Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
D. H. Lawrence
Not that the Red Indian will ever possess the broad lands of America. At least I presume not. But his ghost will.
D. H. Lawrence
California is a queer place in a way, it has turned its back on the world, and looks into the void Pacific. It is absolutely selfish, very empty, but not false, and at least, not full of false effort.
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
The peasants of Sicily, who have kept their own wheat and make their own natural brown bread, ah, it is amazing how fresh and sweet and clean their loaf seems, so perfumed, as home-made bread used all to be before the war.
D. H. Lawrence
An illusion which is a real experience is worth having.
D. H. Lawrence
The nature of the infant is not just a new permutation-and-combination of elements contained in the natures of the parents. There is in the nature of the infant that which is utterly unknown in the natures of the parents.
D. H. Lawrence
And all the time she felt the reflection of his hopelessness in her. She couldn't quite, quite love in hoplessness. And he, being hopeless, couldn't ever love at all.
D. H. Lawrence
Thought is a man in his wholeness, wholly attending.
D. H. Lawrence
Nothing is as bad as a marriage that's a hopeless failure.
D. H. Lawrence
