And this is the final meaning of work: the extension of human consciousness. The lesser meaning of work is the achieving of self-preservation.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The upshot was, my paintings must burn that English artists might finally learn.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I should feel the air move against me, and feel the things I touched, instead of having only to look at them. I'm sure life is all wrong because it has become much too visual - we can neither hear nor feel nor understand, we can only see. I'm sure that is entirely wrong.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Yea, Paris is a festive ton -- a festive Ton for all! Skate o'er on joy -- Thin crust of gilded, polished joy! What matters it if Hell's beneath?
D. H. Lawrence
Image
And to my lips' Bright crimson rim The passion slips, And down my slim White body drips The shining hymn.

Be a good animal, true to your animal instincts.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I wonder which was more frightened among old tribes -- those bursting out of their darkness of woods upon all the space of light, or those from the open tiptoeing into the forests.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I like relativity and quantum theories because I don't understand them and they make me feel as if space shifted about like a swan that can't settle, refusing to sit still and be measured and as if the atom were an impulsive thing always changing its mind.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The pyramids of Egypt will not last a moment compared to the daisy.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The human consciousness is really homogeneous. There is no complete forgetting, even in death.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Any novel of importance has a purpose. If only the purpose be large enough, and not at outs with the passional inspiration.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The world is wonderful and beautiful and good beyond one's wildest imagination. Never, never, never could one conceive what love is, beforehand, never. Life can be great-quite god-like. It can be so. God be thanked I have proved it.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The fairest thing in nature, a flower, still has its roots in earth and manure.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Any inhibition must be wrong, since inevitably in the end it causes neurosis and insanity.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
We are so overwhelmed with quantities of books, that we hardly realise any more that a book can be valuable, valuable like a jewel, or a lovely picture, into which you can look deeper and deeper and get a more profound experience every time.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
We don't exist unless we are deeply and sensually in touch with that which can be touched but not known.
