Sanity means the wholeness of the consciousness. And our society is only part conscious, like an idiot.

More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
It always seemed to me that men wore their beards, like they wear their neckties, for show.
D. H. Lawrence
She had borne so long the cruelty of belonging to him and not being claimed by him.
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
We are dying, we are dying, we are all of us dying and nothing will stay the death-flood rising within us and soon it will rise on the world, on the outside world.
D. H. Lawrence
Pure morality is only an instinctive adjustment which the soul makes.
D. H. Lawrence
When I hear modern people complain of being lonely then I know what has happened. They have lost the cosmos.
D. H. Lawrence
Where sanity is there God is.
D. H. Lawrence
I prefer unlucky things. Luck is vulgar. Who wants what luck would bring? I don't.
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
When all comes to all, the most precious element in life is wonder. Love is a great emotion, and power is power. But both love and power are based on wonder.
D. H. Lawrence
The cruelest thing a man can do to a woman is to portray her as perfection.
D. H. Lawrence
For, of course, being a girl, one’s whole dignity and meaning in life consisted in the achievement of an absolute, a perfect, a pure and noble freedom. What else did a girl’s life mean?
D. H. Lawrence
There is a brief time for sex, and a long time when sex is out of place. But when it is out of place as an activity there still should be the large and quiet space in the consciousness where it lives quiescent. Old people can have a lovely quiescent sort of sex, like apples, leaving the young quite free for their sort.
D. H. Lawrence
The upshot was, my paintings must burn that English artists might finally learn.
D. H. Lawrence
I don't believe any more in democracy. But I can't believe in the old sort of aristocracy, either, nor can I wish it back, splendid as it was. What I believe in is the old Homeric aristocracy, when the grandeur was inside a man, and he lived in a simple wooden house.
D. H. Lawrence
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
Mankind has got to get back to the rhythm of the cosmos.
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
That's it! When you come to know men, that's how they are: too sensitive in the wrong place.
D. H. Lawrence
It's not art for art's sake, it's art for my sake.
D. H. Lawrence
