More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
Morality which is based on ideas, or on an ideal, is an unmitigated evil.
D. H. Lawrence
Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it.
D. H. Lawrence
I am only half there when I am ill, and so there is only half a man to suffer. To suffer in one's whole self is so great a violation, that it is not to be endured.
D. H. Lawrence
The American grips himself, at the very sources of his consciousness, in a grip of care: and then, to so much of the rest of life, is indifferent. Whereas, the European hasn't got so much care in him, so he cares much more for life and living.
D. H. Lawrence
There's lots of good fish in the sea...maybe...but the vast masses seem to be mackerel or herring, and if you're not mackerel or herring yourself, you are likely to find very few good fish in the sea.
D. H. Lawrence
The great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman. The man embraces in the woman all that is not himself, and from that one resultant, from that embrace, comes every new action.
D. H. Lawrence
We do all like to get things inside a barb-wire corral. Especially our fellow-men. We love to round them up inside the barb-wire enclosure of FREEDOM, and make 'em work. Work, you free jewel, WORK! shouts the liberator, cracking his whip.
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
God doesn't know things. He is things.
D. H. Lawrence
That which one cannot experience in daily life is not true for oneself.
D. H. Lawrence
Build then the ship of death, for you must take the longest journey, to oblivion.
D. H. Lawrence
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
It's hard to ravish a tin of sardines.
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
A little morphine in all the air. It would be wonderfully refreshing for everyone.
D. H. Lawrence
Beauty is a mystery. You can neither eat it nor make flannel out of it.
D. H. Lawrence
When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego ... things will happen to us so that we don't know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in.
D. H. Lawrence
Never trust the artist. Trust the tale. The proper function of the critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it.
D. H. Lawrence
The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action.
D. H. Lawrence
We don't exist unless we are deeply and sensually in touch with that which can be touched but not known.
D. H. Lawrence
