Unless one decorates one's house for oneself alone, best leave it bare, for other people are walleyed.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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
Image
It's hard to ravish a tin of sardines.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
For God's sake, all of you, say spiteful things about me, then I shall know I mean something to you. Don't say surgaries, or I'm done.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Gods die with men who have conceived them. But the god-stuff roars eternally, like the sea, with too vast a sound to be heard.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The more I see of democracy the more I dislike it. It just brings everything down to the mere vulgar level of wages and prices, electric light and water closets, and nothing else.
D. H. Lawrence

Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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
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

D. H. Lawrence
Image
And all the time she felt the reflection of his hopelessness in her. She couldn't quite, quite love in hoplessness. And he, being hopeless, couldn't ever love at all.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink at last, as human psychology.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Where the electron behaves and misbehaves as it will, where the forces tie themselves up into knots of atoms and come united.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Creatures that hang themselves up like an old rag, to sleep And disgustingly upside down. Hanging upside down like rows of disgusting old rags And grinning in their sleep. Bats!
D. H. Lawrence
Image
And in this passion for understanding her soul lay close to his she had him all to herself. But he must be made abstract first.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
That's how women are with me said Paul. They want me like mad but they don't want to belong to me.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
[Man's] life consists in a relation with all things: stone, earth, trees, flowers, water, insects, fishes, birds, creatures, sun,rainbow, children, women, other men. But his greatest and final relation is with the sun.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The nice clean intimacy which we now so admire between the sexes is sterilizing. It makes neuters. Later on, no deep, magical sex-life is possible.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Necessary, forever necessary, to burn out false shames and smelt the heaviest ore of the body into purity.
