You don't learn algebra with your blessed soul. Can't you look at it with your clear simple wits?
D. H. Lawrence
Image
We are dying, we are dying, we are all of us dying and nothing will stay the death-flood rising within us and soon it will rise on the world, on the outside world.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
When we really want to go for something better, we shall smash the old. Until then, any sort of proposal, or making proposals, is no more than a tiresome game for self-important people.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The human consciousness is really homogeneous. There is no complete forgetting, even in death.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
What the eye doesn't see and the mind doesn't know, doesn't exist.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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.

The upshot was, my paintings must burn that English artists might finally learn.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Never was an age more sentimental, more devoid of real feeling, more exaggerated in false feeling, than our own.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
When I wish I was rich, then I know I am ill.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
A man must keep his earnestness nimble, to escape ridicule.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
A man will part with anything so long as he's drunk, and you're drunk with him.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
When all comes to all, the most precious element in life is wonder. Love is a great emotion, and power is power. But both love and power are based on wonder.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
But that is how men are! Ungrateful and never satisfied. When you don't have them they hate you because you won't and when you do have them they hate you again, for some other reason. Or for no reason at all, except that they are discontented children, and can't be satisfied whatever they get, let a woman do what she may.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
[During the Renaissance] the Italians said, We are one in the Father: we will go back. The Northern races said, We are one in Christ, we will go on.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The only principle I can see in this life, is that one must forfeit the less for the greater.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Marriage and deathless friendship, both should be inviolable and sacred: two great creative passions, separate, apart, but complementary: the one pivotal, the other adventurous: the one, marriage, the centre of human life and the other, the leap ahead.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The sense of wonder, that is our sixth sense.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I shall be glad when you have strangled the invincible respectability that dogs your steps.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
One could laugh at the world better if it didn't mix tender kindliness with its brutality.
D. H. Lawrence
