The whole point about the true unconscious is that it is all the time moving forward, beyond the range of its own fixed laws or habits. It is no good trying to superimpose an ideal nature upon the unconscious.

The elephant, the huge old beast, is slow to mate
D. H. Lawrence
An illusion which is a real experience is worth having.
D. H. Lawrence
Rippling, rippling, rippling, like a flapping overlapping of soft flames, soft as feathers, running to points of brilliance, exquisite, exquisite and melting her all molten inside.
D. H. Lawrence
I am only half there when I am ill, and so there is only half a man to suffer. To suffer in one's whole self is so great a violation, that it is not to be endured.
D. H. Lawrence
I'm not sure if a mental relation with a woman doesn't make it impossible to love her. To know the mind of a woman is to end in hating her. Love means the pre-cognitive flow...it is the honest state before the apple.
D. H. Lawrence
And if tonight my soul may find her peace in sleep, and sink in good oblivion, and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created.
D. H. Lawrence
A snake came to my water trough On a hot, hot day, and I in pajamas for the heat, To drink there.
D. H. Lawrence
Any novel of importance has a purpose. If only the purpose be large enough, and not at outs with the passional inspiration.
D. H. Lawrence
The only principle I can see in this life, is that one must forfeit the less for the greater.
D. H. Lawrence
Be careful, then, and be gentle about death. For it is hard to die, it is difficult to go through the door, even when it opens.
D. H. Lawrence
It's bad taste to be wise all the time, like being at a perpetual funeral.
D. H. Lawrence
They wanted genuine intimacy, but they could not get even normally near to anyone, because they scorned to take the first steps, they scorned the triviality which forms common human intercourse.
D. H. Lawrence
Thought is a man in his wholeness, wholly attending.
D. H. Lawrence
Naught is possessed, neither gold, nor land nor love, nor life, nor peace, nor even sorrow nor death, nor yet salvation. Say of nothing: It is mine. Say only: It is with me.
D. H. Lawrence
Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.
D. H. Lawrence
Now it is autumn and the falling fruit and the long journey towards oblivion. The apples falling like great drops of dew to bruise themselves an exit from themselves.
D. H. Lawrence
The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great nerve center from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that Saturn has over us, or Venus? But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time.
D. H. Lawrence
In the ancient recipe, the three antidotes for dullness or boredom are sleep, drink, and travel. It is rather feeble. From sleep you wake up, from drink you become sober, and from travel you come home again. And then where are you? No, the two sovereign remedies for dullness are love or a crusade.
D. H. Lawrence
What's that as flies without wings, your ladyship? Time! Time!
D. H. Lawrence
She was always waiting, it seemed to be her forte.
