D. H. Lawrence
Unless one decorates one's house for oneself alone, best leave it bare, for other people are walleyed.
D. H. Lawrence
For {she} had adopted the standard of the young: what there was in the moment was everything. And moments followed one another without necessarily belonging to one another.
D. H. Lawrence
Are you willing to be sponged out, erased, cancelled, made nothing? Are you willing to be made nothing? Dipped into oblivion? If not, you will never really change.
D. H. Lawrence
A man was like a child with his appetites. A woman had to yield him what he wanted, or like a child he would probably turn nasty and flounce away and spoil what was a very pleasant connection.
D. H. Lawrence

D. H. Lawrence
Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.
D. H. Lawrence
We are so conceited and so unproud.
D. H. Lawrence
How ravished one could be without ever being touched. Ravished by dead words become obscene and dead ideas become obsessions.
D. H. Lawrence
Don't be on the side of the angels, it's too lowering.
D. H. Lawrence
Consciousness is an end in itself. We torture ourselves getting somewhere, and when we get there it is nowhere, for there is nowhere to get to.
D. H. Lawrence
The refined punishments of the spiritual mode are usually much more indecent and dangerous than a good smack.
D. H. Lawrence
Men! The only animal in the world to fear.
D. H. Lawrence
She herself had never been able to be altogether herself: it had been denied her.
D. H. Lawrence
I can only see death and more death, till we are black and swollen with death.
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
The mystery of the evening-star brilliant in silence and distance between the downward-surging plunge of the sun and the vast, hollow seething of inpouring night. The magnificence of the watchful morning-star, that watches between the night and the day, the gleaming clue to the two opposites.
D. H. Lawrence
The upshot was, my paintings must burn that English artists might finally learn.
D. H. Lawrence
Necessary, forever necessary, to burn out false shames and smelt the heaviest ore of the body into purity.
D. H. Lawrence
Be careful, then, and be gentle about death. For it is hard to die, it is difficult to go through the door, even when it opens.
D. H. Lawrence
