More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
Don't be on the side of the angels, it's too lowering.
D. H. Lawrence
Away with all ideals. Let each individual act spontaneously from the forever incalculable prompting of the creative wellhead within him. There is no universal law.
D. H. Lawrence
Men are free when they belong to a living, organic, believing community, active in fulfilling some unfulfilled, perhaps unrealized purpose.
D. H. Lawrence
He knew that conscience was chiefly fear of society or fear of oneself.
D. H. Lawrence
The novel is the one bright book of life. Books are not life. They are only tremulations on the ether. But the novel as a tremulation can make the whole man alive tremble.
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 fairest thing in nature, a flower, still has its roots in earth and manure.
D. H. Lawrence
A circle swoop, and a quick parabola under the bridge arches Where light pushes through A sudden turning upon itself of a thing in the air. A dip to the water.
D. H. Lawrence
California is a queer place in a way, it has turned its back on the world, and looks into the void Pacific. It is absolutely selfish, very empty, but not false, and at least, not full of false effort.
D. H. Lawrence
Money is the seal and stamp of success.
D. H. Lawrence
The human being is a most curious creature. He thinks he has got one soul, and he has got dozens.
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
In the dust where we have buried the silent races and their abominations we have buried so much of the delicate magic of life.
D. H. Lawrence
That's how women are with me said Paul. They want me like mad but they don't want to belong to me.
D. H. Lawrence
We are dying, we are dying, piecemeal our bodies are dying and our strength leaves us, and our soul cowers naked in the dark rain over the flood, cowering in the last branches of the tree of our life.
D. H. Lawrence
Sanity means the wholeness of the consciousness. And our society is only part conscious, like an idiot.
D. H. Lawrence
Only youth has a taste of immortality.
D. H. Lawrence
The # cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts.
D. H. Lawrence
The tragedy is when you've got sex in the head instead of down where it belongs.
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
