More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
Be a good animal, true to your animal instincts.
D. H. Lawrence
You have to have something vicious in you to be a creative writersomething old-adamish, incompatible to the ordinary world.
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
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
It grew late. Through the open door, stealthily, came the scent of madonna lilies, almost as if it were prowling abroad.
D. H. Lawrence
Sex is really only touch, the closest of all touch. And it's touch we're afraid of.
D. H. Lawrence
The Sphinx-riddle. Solve it, or be torn to bits, is the decree.
D. H. Lawrence
Only the desert has a fascination--to ride alone--in the sun in the forever unpossessed country--away from man. That is a great temptation.
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
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
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
When I wish I was rich, then I know I am ill.
D. H. Lawrence
A snake came to my water trough On a hot, hot day, and I in pajamas for the heat, To drink there.
D. H. Lawrence
Whatever life may be, and whatever horror men have made of it, the world is a lovely place, a magic place, something to marvel over. The world is an amazing place.
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
In my very own self, I am part of my family.
D. H. Lawrence
A little morphine in all the air. It would be wonderfully refreshing for everyone.
D. H. Lawrence
Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.
D. H. Lawrence
No man is a man unless to his woman he is a pioneer.
D. H. Lawrence
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
