D. H. Lawrence
I'll do my life work, sticking up for the love between man and woman.
D. H. Lawrence
When I went to the scientific doctor I realised what a lust there was in him to wreak his so-called science on me and reduce me to the level of a thing. So I said: Good-morning! and left him.
D. H. Lawrence
Oh the innocent girl in her maiden teens knows perfectly well what everything means.
D. H. Lawrence
