The unhappiness of a wife with a good husband is much more devastating than the unhappiness of a wife with a bad husband.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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
Image
Instead of chopping yourself down to fit the world, chop the world down to fit yourself.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
It is so much more difficult to live with one's body than with one's soul. One's body is so much more exacting: what it won't have it won't have, and nothing can make bitter into sweet.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I think I am much too valuable a creature to offer myself to a German bullet gratis and for fun.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Death is ... a travelling asunder into elemental chaos. And from the elemental chaos all is cast forth again into creation. Therefore death also is but a cul-de-sac, a melting-pot.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
So as long as you can forget your body you are happy and the moment you begin to be aware of your body, you are wretched. So if civilization is any good, it has to help us forget our bodies, and then time passes happily without our knowing it. Help us get rid of our bodies altogether.
D. H. Lawrence
Image

D. H. Lawrence
Image
there is no pornography without a secrecy.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Every profound new movement makes a great swing also backwards to some older, half-forgotten way of consciousness.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The tragedy is when you've got sex in the head instead of down where it belongs.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
What's that as flies without wings, your ladyship? Time! Time!
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Sometimes life takes hold of one, carries the body along, accomplishes one's history, and yet is not real, but leaves oneself as it were slurred over.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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
Image
Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
No form of love is wrong, so long as it is love, and you yourself honour what you are doing. Love has an extraordinary variety of forms! And that is all that there is in life, it seems to me.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I am convinced that the majority of people to-day have good, generous feelings which they can never know, never experience, because of some fear, some repression. I do not believe that people would be villains, thieves, murderers and sexual criminals if they were freed from legal restraint.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
If only I am keen and hard like the sheer tip of a wedge Driven by invisible blows, The rock will split, we shall come at the wonder, we shall find the Hesperides.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Any novel of importance has a purpose. If only the purpose be large enough, and not at outs with the passional inspiration.
