More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
I will wait and watch till the day of David at last shall be finished, and wisdom no more fox-faced, and the blood gets back its flame.
D. H. Lawrence
The nearer a conception comes towards finality, the nearer does the dynamic relation, out of which this concept has arisen, draw to a close. To know is to lose.
D. H. Lawrence
Sex and beauty are inseparable, like life and consciousness. And the intelligence which goes with sex and beauty, and arises out of sex and beauty, is intuition.
D. H. Lawrence
That which one cannot experience in daily life is not true for oneself.
D. H. Lawrence
At a wavering instant the swallows gave way to bats By the Ponte Vecchio . . . Changing guard.
D. H. Lawrence
A man will part with anything so long as he's drunk, and you're drunk with him.
D. H. Lawrence
Sanity means the wholeness of the consciousness. And our society is only part conscious, like an idiot.
D. H. Lawrence
Art is a form of supremely delicate awareness and atonement — meaning atoneness, the state of being at one with the object.
D. H. Lawrence
They say geniuses mostly have great mothers. They mostly have sad fates.
D. H. Lawrence
The mind is ashamed of the blood. And the blood is destroyed by the mind, actually. Hence palefaces.
D. H. Lawrence
And this is the final meaning of work: the extension of human consciousness. The lesser meaning of work is the achieving of self-preservation.
D. H. Lawrence
The human being is a most curious creature. He thinks he has got one soul, and he has got dozens.
D. H. Lawrence
In the ancient recipe, the three antidotes for dullness or boredom are sleep, drink, and travel. It is rather feeble. From sleep you wake up, from drink you become sober, and from travel you come home again. And then where are you? No, the two sovereign remedies for dullness are love or a crusade.
D. H. Lawrence
Where sanity is there God is.
D. H. Lawrence
The Spanish wine, my God, it is foul, catpiss is champagne compared, this is the sulphurous urination of some aged horse.
D. H. Lawrence
I hold that the parentheses are by far the most important parts of a non-business letter.
D. H. Lawrence
I can't bear art that you can walk round and admire. A book should be either a bandit or a rebel or a man in the crowd.
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
We are dying, we are dying, piecemeal our bodies are dying and our strength leaves us, and our soul cowers naked in the dark rain over the flood, cowering in the last branches of the tree of our life.
D. H. Lawrence
The only principle I can see in this life, is that one must forfeit the less for the greater.
D. H. Lawrence
