More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
Now go away then, and leave me alone. I don't want any more of your meretricious persiflage.
D. H. Lawrence
Only this shimmeriness is the real living. The shape is a dead crust. The shimmer is inside really.
D. H. Lawrence
There is only one thing that a man really wants to do, all his life and that is, to find his way to his God, his Morning Star, salute his fellow man, and enjoy the woman who has come the long way with him.
D. H. Lawrence
The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great nerve center from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that Saturn has over us, or Venus? But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time.
D. H. Lawrence
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
I do esteem individual liberty above everything.
D. H. Lawrence
The world of men is dreaming, it has gone mad in its sleep, and a snake is strangling it, but it can't wake up.
D. H. Lawrence
God is only a great imaginative experience.
D. H. Lawrence
The deadly Hydra now is the hydra of Equality. Liberty, Equality and Fraternity is the three-fanged serpent.
D. H. Lawrence
She looked at him, and oh, the weariness to her, of the effort to understand another language, the weariness of hearing him, attending to him, making out who he was, as he stood there fair-bearded and alien, looking at her. She knew something of him, of his eyes. But she could not grasp him. She closed her eyes.
D. H. Lawrence
When love turns into dust, money becomes the substitution.
D. H. Lawrence
When one jumps over the edge, one is bound to land somewhere.
D. H. Lawrence
Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.
D. H. Lawrence
It's not art for art's sake, it's art for my sake.
D. H. Lawrence
Behold then Septimus Dodge returning to Dodge-town victorious. Not crowned with laurel, it is true, but wreathed in lists of things he has seen and sucked dry. Seen and sucked dry, you know: Venus de Milo, the Rhine or the Coliseum: swallowed like so many clams, and left the shells.
D. H. Lawrence
Men always do leave off really thinking, when the last bit of wild animal dies in them.
D. H. Lawrence
Men! The only animal in the world to fear.
D. H. Lawrence
You don't learn algebra with your blessed soul. Can't you look at it with your clear simple wits?
D. H. Lawrence
Mankind has got to get back to the rhythm of the cosmos.
D. H. Lawrence
She wished some help would come from outside. But in the whole world there was no help. Society was terrible because it was insane. Civilized society is insane. Money and so-called love are its two great manias money a long way first. The individual asserts himself in his disconnected insanity in these two modes: money and love.
D. H. Lawrence
