More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
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
While we live, let us live.
D. H. Lawrence
If a novel reveals true and vivid relationships, it is a moral work, no matter what the relationships consist in. If the novelisthonours the relationship in itself, it will be a great novel.
D. H. Lawrence
You feel free in Australia. There is great relief in the atmosphere - a relief from tension, from pressure, an absence of control of will or form. The Skies open above you and the areas open around you.
D. H. Lawrence
When passion is dead, or absent, then the magnificent throb of beauty is incomprehensible and even a little despicable.
D. H. Lawrence
The east is not for me--the sensuous spiritual voluptuousness, the curious sensitiveness of the naked people, their black, bottomless, hopeless eyes.
D. H. Lawrence
I do esteem individual liberty above everything.
D. H. Lawrence
The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action.
D. H. Lawrence
I should like [people] to like the purely individual thing in themselves, which makes them act in singleness. and They only like to do the collective thing.
D. H. Lawrence
Never was an age more sentimental, more devoid of real feeling, more exaggerated in false feeling, than our own.
D. H. Lawrence
Marriage is the clue to human life, but there is no marriage apart from the wheeling sun and the nodding earth, from the strayingof the planets and the magnificence of the fixed stars.
D. H. Lawrence
I want us to be together without bothering about ourselves- to be really together because we ARE together, as if it were a phenomenon, not a thing we have to maintain by our own effort.
D. H. Lawrence
One sheds one's sicknesses in books - repeats and presents again one's emotions, to be master of them.
D. H. Lawrence
Whatever men you take, keep the idea of man intact: let your soul wait whether your body does or not.
D. H. Lawrence
But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions.
D. H. Lawrence
Nothing is as bad as a marriage that's a hopeless failure.
D. H. Lawrence
Oh literature, oh the glorious Art, how it preys upon the marrow in our bones. It scoops the stuffing out of us, and chucks us aside. Alas!
D. H. Lawrence
No form of love is wrong, so long as it is love, and you yourself honour what you are doing. Love has an extraordinary variety of forms! And that is all that there is in life, it seems to me.
D. H. Lawrence
And every true artist is the salvation of every other. But only artists produce for each other the world that is fit to live in.
D. H. Lawrence
When I went to the scientific doctor I realised what a lust there was in him to wreak his so-called science on me and reduce me to the level of a thing. So I said: Good-morning! and left him.
D. H. Lawrence
