One sheds one's sicknesses in books - repeats and presents again one's emotions, to be master of them.

More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
The refined punishments of the spiritual mode are usually much more indecent and dangerous than a good smack.
D. H. Lawrence
For {she} had adopted the standard of the young: what there was in the moment was everything. And moments followed one another without necessarily belonging to one another.
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
It is not woman who claims the highest in man. It is a man's own religious soul that drives him on beyond women, to his supreme activity. For his highest, man is responsible to God alone.
D. H. Lawrence
A house o' women is as dead as a house wi' no fire, to my thinkin'. I'm not a spider as likes to corner myself. I like a man about, if he's only something to snap at.
D. H. Lawrence
What the eye doesn't see and the mind doesn't know, doesn't exist.
D. H. Lawrence
I like to write when I feel spiteful it's like having a good sneeze.
D. H. Lawrence
Logic might be unanswerable because it was so absolutely wrong.
D. H. Lawrence
Every profound new movement makes a great swing also backwards to some older, half-forgotten way of consciousness.
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
I got the blues thinking of the future, so I left off and made some marmalade. It's amazing how it cheers one up to shred orange and scrub the floor.
D. H. Lawrence
Behold then Septimus Dodge returning to Dodge-town victorious. Not crowned with laurel, it is true, but wreathed in lists of things he has seen and sucked dry. Seen and sucked dry, you know: Venus de Milo, the Rhine or the Coliseum: swallowed like so many clams, and left the shells.
D. H. Lawrence
Any novel of importance has a purpose. If only the purpose be large enough, and not at outs with the passional inspiration.
D. H. Lawrence
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
Along the avenue of cypresses, All in their scarlet cloaks and surplices Of linen, go the chanting choristers, The priests in gold and black, the villagers. . . .
D. H. Lawrence
You don't learn algebra with your blessed soul. Can't you look at it with your clear simple wits?
D. H. Lawrence
Oh literature, oh the glorious Art, how it preys upon the marrow in our bones. It scoops the stuffing out of us, and chucks us aside. Alas!
D. H. Lawrence
Now in November nearer comes the sun down the abandoned heaven.
D. H. Lawrence
O pity the dead that are dead, but cannot make the journey, still they moan and beat against the silvery adamant walls of life's exclusive city.
D. H. Lawrence
There are three cures for ennui: sleep, drink and travel.
D. H. Lawrence
