Now man cannot live without some vision of himself. But still less can he live with a vision that is not true to his inner experience and inner feeling.

It's not art for art's sake, it's art for my sake.
D. H. Lawrence
The Sphinx-riddle. Solve it, or be torn to bits, is the decree.
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
Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
D. H. Lawrence
I want us to be together without bothering about ourselves- to be really together because we ARE together, as if it were a phenomenon, not a thing we have to maintain by our own effort.
D. H. Lawrence
Be a good animal, true to your animal instincts.
D. H. Lawrence
A book lives as long as it is unfathomed.
D. H. Lawrence
He knew that conscience was chiefly fear of society or fear of oneself.
D. H. Lawrence
I prefer unlucky things. Luck is vulgar. Who wants what luck would bring? I don't.
D. H. Lawrence
And besides, look at elder flowers and bluebells-they are a sign that pure creation takes place - even the butterfly. But humanity never gets beyond the caterpillar stage -it rots in the chrysalis, it never will have wings.It is anti-creation, like monkeys and baboons.
D. H. Lawrence
The pyramids of Egypt will not last a moment compared to the daisy.
D. H. Lawrence
The past. The Golden Age of the past. What a nostalgia we all feel for it. Yet we don't want it when we get it. Try the South Seas.
D. H. Lawrence
Unless one decorates one's house for oneself alone, best leave it bare, for other people are walleyed.
D. H. Lawrence
It is quite true, as some poets said, that the God who created man must have had a sinister sense of humor, creating him a reasonable being, yet forcing him to take this ridiculous posture, and driving him with blind craving for this ridiculous performance.
D. H. Lawrence
When all comes to all, the most precious element in life is wonder. Love is a great emotion, and power is power. But both love and power are based on wonder.
D. H. Lawrence
Tragedy looks to me like man in love with his own defeat. Which is only a sloppy way of being in love with yourself.
D. H. Lawrence
The # cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts.
D. H. Lawrence
I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.
D. H. Lawrence
There is nothing to save, now all is lost, but a tiny core of stillness in the heart like the eye of a violet.
D. H. Lawrence
A circle swoop, and a quick parabola under the bridge arches Where light pushes through A sudden turning upon itself of a thing in the air. A dip to the water.
D. H. Lawrence
