Image
Necessary, forever necessary, to burn out false shames and smelt the heaviest ore of the body into purity.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
It is time that the Protestant Church, the Church of the Son, should be one again with the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of the Father. It is time that man shall cease, first to live in the flesh, with joy, and then, unsatisfied, to renounce and to mortify the flesh.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I should like [people] to like the purely individual thing in themselves, which makes them act in singleness. and They only like to do the collective thing.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The proper study of mankind is man in his relation to his deity.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The nearer a conception comes towards finality, the nearer does the dynamic relation, out of which this concept has arisen, draw to a close. To know is to lose.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Once you abstract from this, once you generalize and postulate Universals, you have departed from the creative reality, and entered the realm of static fixity, mechanism, materialism.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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
Image
A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
How can any man be free without a soul of his own, that he believes in and won't sell at any price?
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Beauty is a mystery. You can neither eat it nor make flannel out of it.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Don't be on the side of the angels, it's too lowering.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The world fears a new experience more than it fears anything. Because a new experience displaces so many old experiences. . . . The world doesn't fear a new idea. It can pigeon-hole any idea. But it can't pigeon-hole a real new experience.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
A little morphine in all the air. It would be wonderfully refreshing for everyone.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
That was the birth of sin. Not doing it, but KNOWING about it. Before the apple, [Adam and Eve] had shut their eyes and their minds had gone dark. Now, they peeped and pried and imagined. They watched themselves.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Sacred love is selfless, seeking not its own. The lover serves his beloved and seeks perfect communion of oneness with her.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Sometimes life takes hold of one, carries the body along, accomplishes one's history, and yet is not real, but leaves oneself as it were slurred over.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The Brangwens had lived for generations on the Marsh Farm, in the meadows where the Erewash twisted sluggishly through alder trees, separating Derbyshire from Nottinghamshire.
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
The mind has no existence by itself it is only the glitter of the sun on the surface of the waters.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The more scholastically educated a man is generally, the more he is an emotional boor.
