More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
And can a man his own quietus make with a bare bodkin?
D. H. Lawrence
Thought is a man in his wholeness, wholly attending.
D. H. Lawrence
They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all, and the wildest, the most urgent.
D. H. Lawrence
Men are free when they are obeying some deep, inward voice of religious belief. Obeying from within. Men are free when they belong to a living, organic, believing community, active in fulfilling some unfulfilled, perhaps unrealized purpose. Not when they are escaping to some wild west. The most unfree souls go west, and shout of freedom.
D. H. Lawrence
In every great novel, who is the hero all the time? Not any of the characters, but some unnamed and nameless flame behind them all.
D. H. Lawrence
I am part of the sun as my eye is part of me. That I am part of the earth my feet know perfectly, and my blood is part of the sea. There is not any part of me that is alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no existence by itself, it is only the glitter of the sun on the surfaces of the water.
D. H. Lawrence
She had borne so long the cruelty of belonging to him and not being claimed by him.
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
Money is the seal and stamp of success.
D. H. Lawrence
It is quite true, as some poets said, that the God who created man must have had a sinister sense of humor, creating him a reasonable being, yet forcing him to take this ridiculous posture, and driving him with blind craving for this ridiculous performance.
D. H. Lawrence
Brave people add up to an aristocracy. The democracy of thou-shalt-not is bound to be a collection of weak men.
D. H. Lawrence
We ought to dance with rapture that we should be alive and in the flesh, and part of the living, incarnate cosmos.
D. H. Lawrence
I am turned into a dream. I feel nothing, or I don't know what I feel. Yet it seems to me I am happy.
D. H. Lawrence
One sheds one's sicknesses in books - repeats and presents again one's emotions, to be master of them.
D. H. Lawrence
Sentimentalism is the working off on yourself of feelings you haven't really got.
D. H. Lawrence
The nature of the infant is not just a new permutation-and-combination of elements contained in the natures of the parents. There is in the nature of the infant that which is utterly unknown in the natures of the parents.
D. H. Lawrence
Oh the innocent girl in her maiden teens knows perfectly well what everything means.
D. H. Lawrence
A little morphine in all the air. It would be wonderfully refreshing for everyone.
D. H. Lawrence
A man must keep his earnestness nimble, to escape ridicule.
D. H. Lawrence
You can't insure against the future, except by really believing in the best bit of you, and in the power beyond it.
D. H. Lawrence
