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
She was always waiting, it seemed to be her forte.
D. H. Lawrence
You must always be a-waggle with LOVE.
D. H. Lawrence
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.
D. H. Lawrence
No man is a man unless to his woman he is a pioneer.
D. H. Lawrence
The mind has no existence by itself it is only the glitter of the sun on the surface of the waters.
D. H. Lawrence
Sex is the one thing you cannot really swindle and it is the centre of the worst swindling of all, emotional swindling.... Sex lashes out against counterfeit emotion, and is ruthless, devastating against false love.
D. H. Lawrence
Any inhibition must be wrong, since inevitably in the end it causes neurosis and insanity.
D. H. Lawrence
I can't do with mountains at close quarters - they are always in the way, and they are so stupid, never moving and never doing anything but obtrude themselves.
D. H. Lawrence
Now the only decent way to get something done is to get it done by somebody who quite likes doing it.
D. H. Lawrence
And in this passion for understanding her soul lay close to his she had him all to herself. But he must be made abstract first.
D. H. Lawrence
When one jumps over the edge, one is bound to land somewhere.
D. H. Lawrence
Every profound new movement makes a great swing also backwards to some older, half-forgotten way of consciousness.
D. H. Lawrence
I'll do my life work, sticking up for the love between man and woman.
D. H. Lawrence
In America the chief accusation seems to be one of Eroticism. This is odd, rather puzzling to my mind. Which Eros? Eros of the jaunty amours, or Eros of the sacred mysteries? And if the latter, why accuse, why not respect, even venerate?
D. H. Lawrence
The English people on the whole are surely the nicest people in the world, and everybody makes everything so easy for everyone else, that there is almost nothing to resist at all.
D. H. Lawrence
Give up bearing children and bear hope and love and devotion to those already born.
D. H. Lawrence
A man was like a child with his appetites. A woman had to yield him what he wanted, or like a child he would probably turn nasty and flounce away and spoil what was a very pleasant connection.
D. H. Lawrence
Homer was wrong in saying, Would that strife might pass away from among gods and men! He did not see that he was praying for the destruction of the universe.
D. H. Lawrence
