Quote

That's just what a woman is. She thinks she knows what's good for a man, and she's going to see he gets it and no matter if he's starving, he may sit and whistle for what he needs, while she's got him, and is giving him what's good for him.

Image
Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can't invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Sentimentalism is the working off on yourself of feelings you haven't really got.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
What one does in one's art, that is the breath of one's being. What one does in one's life, that is a bagatelle for the outsiders to fuss about.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Art is a form of supremely delicate awareness and atonement — meaning atoneness, the state of being at one with the object.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe. The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
A little morphine in all the air. It would be wonderfully refreshing for everyone.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Without secrecy there would be no pornography. But secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Once you abstract from this, once you generalize and postulate Universals, you have departed from the creative reality, and entered the realm of static fixity, mechanism, materialism.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
How I hate the attitude of ordinary people to life. How I loathe ordinariness! How from my soul I abhor nice simple people, with their eternal price list. It makes my blood boil.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The novel is the highest example of subtle interrelatedness that man has discovered.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I believe the nearest I've come to perfect love was with a young coal-miner when I was about 16.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I shall be glad when you have strangled the invincible respectability that dogs your steps.
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
Not that the Red Indian will ever possess the broad lands of America. At least I presume not. But his ghost will.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Don't be on the side of the angels, it's too lowering.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
No man is a man unless to his woman he is a pioneer.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I do esteem individual liberty above everything.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I'm not sure if a mental relation with a woman doesn't make it impossible to love her. To know the mind of a woman is to end in hating her. Love means the pre-cognitive flow...it is the honest state before the apple.
