Quote

And it seems to me a blasphemy to say that the Holy Spirit is Love. In the Old Testament it is an Eagle: in the New it is a Dove.Christ insists on the Dove: but in His supreme moments He includes the Eagle.

Nobody can have the soul of me. My mother has had, and nobody can have it again. Nobody can come into my very self again, and breathe me like an atmosphere.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The English people on the whole are surely the nicest people in the world, and everybody makes everything so easy for everyone else, that there is almost nothing to resist at all.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The word arse is as much god as the word face. It must be so, otherwise you cut off your god at the waist.

Image
For my part, I prefer my heart to be broken. It is so lovely, dawn-kaleidoscopic within the crack.

D. H. Lawrence
Image
Good God, what does it matter? If life is a tragedy, or a farce, or a disaster, or anything else, what do I care! Let life be what it likes. Give me a drink, that's what I want just now.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
We are so overwhelmed with quantities of books, that we hardly realise any more that a book can be valuable, valuable like a jewel, or a lovely picture, into which you can look deeper and deeper and get a more profound experience every time.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Sleep is still most perfect, in spite of hygienists, when it is shared with a beloved. The warmth, the security and peace of soul, the utter comfort from the touch of the other, knits the sleep, so that it takes the body and soul completely in its healing.

Image
Don't be sucked in by the su-superior, don't swallow the culture bait, don't drink, don't drink and get beerier and beerier, do learn to discriminate.

Sleep is still most perfect, in spite of hygienists, when it is shared with a beloved.

I have lived among enough painters and around studios to have had all the theories - and how contradictory they are - rammed down my throat. A man has to have a gizzard like an ostrich to digest all the brass-tacks and wire nails of modern art theories.

When love turns into dust, money becomes the substitution.

Where sanity is there God is.

If a woman's got nothing but her fair fame to feed on, why, it's thin tack, and a donkey would die of it!

Image
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.

The Moon! Artemis! the great goddess of the splendid past of men! Are you going to tell me she is a dead lump?

Truth does not lie beyond humanity, but is one of the products of the human mind and feeling.

I believe the nearest I've come to perfect love was with a young coal-miner when I was about 16.
