More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
Truth does not lie beyond humanity, but is one of the products of the human mind and feeling.
D. H. Lawrence
There is no such thing as liberty. You only change one sort of domination for another. All we can do is to choose our master.
D. H. Lawrence
Marriage and deathless friendship, both should be inviolable and sacred: two great creative passions, separate, apart, but complementary: the one pivotal, the other adventurous: the one, marriage, the centre of human life and the other, the leap ahead.
D. H. Lawrence
And what's romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything As You Like It, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose and it's always daisy-time.
D. H. Lawrence
The old ideals are dead as nails--nothing there. It seems to me there remains only this perfect union with a woman--sort of ultimate marriage--and there isn't anything else.
D. H. Lawrence
Build then the ship of death, for you must take the longest journey, to oblivion.
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
Beauty is a mystery. You can neither eat it nor make flannel out of it.
D. H. Lawrence
The tragedy is when you've got sex in the head instead of down where it belongs.
D. H. Lawrence
So slowly the hot elephant hearts grow full of desire, and the great beasts mate in secret at last, hiding their fire.
D. H. Lawrence
All hopes of eternity and all gain from the past he would have given to have her there, to be wrapped warm with him in one blanket, and sleep, only sleep. It seemed the sleep with the woman in his arms was the only necessity.
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
A museum is not a first-hand contact: it is an illustrated lecture. And what one wants is the actual vital touch.
D. H. Lawrence
Sex is really only touch, the closest of all touch. And it's touch we're afraid of.
D. H. Lawrence
That's it! When you come to know men, that's how they are: too sensitive in the wrong place.
D. H. Lawrence
In my very own self, I am part of my family.
D. H. Lawrence
And every true artist is the salvation of every other. But only artists produce for each other the world that is fit to live in.
D. H. Lawrence
I would like [the working man] to give me back books and newspapers and theories. And I would like to give him back, in return, his old insouciance, and rich, original spontaneity and fullness of life.
D. H. Lawrence
I cannot cure myself of that most woeful of youth's follies - thinking that those who care about us will care for the things that mean much to us.
D. H. Lawrence
No man is a man unless to his woman he is a pioneer.
D. H. Lawrence
