That is your trick, your bit of filthy magic: invisibility, and the anaesthetic power to deaden my attention in your direction.

More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
The American grips himself, at the very sources of his consciousness, in a grip of care: and then, to so much of the rest of life, is indifferent. Whereas, the European hasn't got so much care in him, so he cares much more for life and living.
D. H. Lawrence
How I hate the attitude of ordinary people to life. How I loathe ordinariness! How from my soul I abhor nice simple people, with their eternal price list. It makes my blood boil.
D. H. Lawrence
I'll do my life work, sticking up for the love between man and woman.
D. H. Lawrence
There is a brief time for sex, and a long time when sex is out of place. But when it is out of place as an activity there still should be the large and quiet space in the consciousness where it lives quiescent. Old people can have a lovely quiescent sort of sex, like apples, leaving the young quite free for their sort.
D. H. Lawrence
With a woman, a man always wants to let himself go. And it is precisely with a woman that he should never let himself go ... but stick to his innermost belief and meet her just there.
D. H. Lawrence
All this Americanising and mechanising has been for the purpose of overthrowing the past. And now look at America, tangled in her own barbed wire, and mastered by her own machines.
D. H. Lawrence
Instead of chopping yourself down to fit the world, chop the world down to fit yourself.
D. H. Lawrence
When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego ... things will happen to us so that we don't know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in.
D. H. Lawrence
A little morphine in all the air. It would be wonderfully refreshing for everyone.
D. H. Lawrence
And it seems to me a blasphemy to say that the Holy Spirit is Love. In the Old Testament it is an Eagle: in the New it is a Dove.Christ insists on the Dove: but in His supreme moments He includes the Eagle.
D. H. Lawrence
Ethics and equity and the principles of justice do not change with the calendar.
D. H. Lawrence
Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it.
D. H. Lawrence
But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions.
D. H. Lawrence
Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.
D. H. Lawrence
If you try to nail anything down, in the novel, either it kills the novel, or the novel gets up and walks away with the nail.
D. H. Lawrence
Evil, what is evil? There is only one evil, to deny life As Rome denied Etruria And mechanical America Montezuma still
D. H. Lawrence
Most men have a deadness in them that frightens me so because of my own deadness. Why can't men get their life straight, like St.Mawr, and then think? Why can't they think quick, mother: quick as a woman: only farther than we do?
D. H. Lawrence
Pure morality is only an instinctive adjustment which the soul makes.
D. H. Lawrence
They wanted genuine intimacy, but they could not get even normally near to anyone, because they scorned to take the first steps, they scorned the triviality which forms common human intercourse.
D. H. Lawrence
But then peace, peace! I am so mistrustful of it: so much afraid that it means a sort of weakness and giving in.
D. H. Lawrence
