D. H. Lawrence

D. H. Lawrence
... he preferred his own madness, to the regular sanity. He rejoiced in his own madness, he was free. He did not want that old sanity of the world, which was become so repulsive. He rejoiced in the new-found world of his madness. It was so fresh and delicate and so satisfying.
D. H. Lawrence

D. H. Lawrence
If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink at last, as human psychology.
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
They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all, and the wildest, the most urgent.
D. H. Lawrence
We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
D. H. Lawrence
He knew that conscience was chiefly fear of society or fear of oneself.
D. H. Lawrence
We don't exist unless we are deeply and sensually in touch with that which can be touched but not known.
D. H. Lawrence
The Moon! Artemis! the great goddess of the splendid past of men! Are you going to tell me she is a dead lump?
D. H. Lawrence
Since obscenity is the truth of our passion today, it is the only stuff of art -- or almost the only stuff.
D. H. Lawrence
You have to have something vicious in you to be a creative writersomething old-adamish, incompatible to the ordinary world.
D. H. Lawrence
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.
D. H. Lawrence
That which one cannot experience in daily life is not true for oneself.
D. H. Lawrence
