Europe is, perhaps, the least worn-out of the continents, because it is the most lived in. A place that is lived in lives.

More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
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.
D. H. Lawrence
It is so much more difficult to live with one's body than with one's soul. One's body is so much more exacting: what it won't have it won't have, and nothing can make bitter into sweet.
D. H. Lawrence
One sheds one's sicknesses in books - repeats and presents again one's emotions, to be master of them.
D. H. Lawrence
Where sanity is there God is.
D. H. Lawrence
Only the flow matters live and let live, love and let love. There is no point in love.
D. H. Lawrence
The great virtue in life is real courage that knows how to face facts and live beyond them.
D. H. Lawrence
For whereas the mind works in possibilities, the intuitions work in actualities, and what you intuitively desire, that is possible to you. Whereas what you mentally or consciously desire is nine times out of ten impossible hitch your wagon to a star, or you will just stay where you are.
D. H. Lawrence
The Brangwens had lived for generations on the Marsh Farm, in the meadows where the Erewash twisted sluggishly through alder trees, separating Derbyshire from Nottinghamshire.
D. H. Lawrence
We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
D. H. Lawrence
No man is a man unless to his woman he is a pioneer.
D. H. Lawrence
The unhappiness of a wife with a good husband is much more devastating than the unhappiness of a wife with a bad husband.
D. H. Lawrence
One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it... and the journey is always towards the other soul.
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
What one does in one's art, that is the breath of one's being. What one does in one's life, that is a bagatelle for the outsiders to fuss about.
D. H. Lawrence
Only in a novel are all things given full play.
D. H. Lawrence
But the effort, the effort! And as the marrow is eaten out of a man's bones and the soul out of his belly, contending with the strange rapacity of savage life, the lower stage of creation, he cannot make the effort any more.
D. H. Lawrence
When I wish I was rich, then I know I am ill.
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
So as long as you can forget your body you are happy and the moment you begin to be aware of your body, you are wretched. So if civilization is any good, it has to help us forget our bodies, and then time passes happily without our knowing it. Help us get rid of our bodies altogether.
D. H. Lawrence
