Our civilisation cannot afford to let the censor-moron loose. The censor-moron does not really hate anything but the living and growing human consciousness.

More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
For, of course, being a girl, one’s whole dignity and meaning in life consisted in the achievement of an absolute, a perfect, a pure and noble freedom. What else did a girl’s life mean?
D. H. Lawrence
You must drop all your democracy. You must not believe in ''the people.'' One class is no better than another. It must be a case of Wisdom, or Truth. Let the working classes be working classes. That is the truth. There must be an aristocracy of people who have wisdom, and there must be a Ruler: a Kaiser: no Presidents and democracies.
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 cruelest thing a man can do to a woman is to portray her as perfection.
D. H. Lawrence
When I hear modern people complain of being lonely then I know what has happened. They have lost the cosmos.
D. H. Lawrence
I am convinced that the majority of people to-day have good, generous feelings which they can never know, never experience, because of some fear, some repression. I do not believe that people would be villains, thieves, murderers and sexual criminals if they were freed from legal restraint.
D. H. Lawrence
In my very own self, I am part of my family.
D. H. Lawrence
Yea, Paris is a festive ton -- a festive Ton for all! Skate o'er on joy -- Thin crust of gilded, polished joy! What matters it if Hell's beneath?
D. H. Lawrence
Those that go searching for love only make manifest their own lovelessness, and the loveless never find love, only the loving find love, and they never have to seek for it.
D. H. Lawrence
One should stick by one's soul, and by nothing else. In one's soul, one knows the truth from the untruth, and life from death. And if one betrays one's own soul-knowledge one is the worst of traitors.
D. H. Lawrence
Give up bearing children and bear hope and love and devotion to those already born.
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
My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle.
D. H. Lawrence
The trains roared by like projectiles level on the darkness, fuming and burning, making the valley clang with their passage. They were gone, and the lights of the towns and villages glittered in silence.
D. H. Lawrence
I can only see death and more death, till we are black and swollen with death.
D. H. Lawrence
It is only when men lose their contact with this eternal life-flame, and become merely personal, things in themselves, instead ofthings kindled in the flame, that the fight between man and woman begins.
D. H. Lawrence
The world fears a new experience more than it fears anything. Because a new experience displaces so many old experiences. . . . The world doesn't fear a new idea. It can pigeon-hole any idea. But it can't pigeon-hole a real new experience.
D. H. Lawrence
So long as you don't feel life's paltry and a miserable business, the rest doesn't matter, happiness or unhappiness.
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
Sex is just another form of talk, where you act the words instead of saying them.
D. H. Lawrence
