D. H. Lawrence
One could laugh at the world better if it didn't mix tender kindliness with its brutality.
D. H. Lawrence
The # cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts.
D. H. Lawrence
The world of men is dreaming, it has gone mad in its sleep, and a snake is strangling it, but it can't wake up.
D. H. Lawrence
Now in November nearer comes the sun down the abandoned heaven.
D. H. Lawrence
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
D. H. Lawrence
I got the blues thinking of the future, so I left off and made some marmalade. It's amazing how it cheers one up to shred orange and scrub the floor.

D. H. Lawrence
