More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
If we lose our sanity ... We can but howl the lugubrious howl of idiots, the howl of the utterly lost howling their nowhereness.
D. H. Lawrence
Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.
D. H. Lawrence
And to my lips' Bright crimson rim The passion slips, And down my slim White body drips The shining hymn.
D. H. Lawrence
It always seemed to me that men wore their beards, like they wear their neckties, for show.
D. H. Lawrence
Now the only decent way to get something done is to get it done by somebody who quite likes doing it.
D. H. Lawrence
What the eye doesn't see and the mind doesn't know, doesn't exist.
D. H. Lawrence
Most men have a deadness in them that frightens me so because of my own deadness. Why can't men get their life straight, like St.Mawr, and then think? Why can't they think quick, mother: quick as a woman: only farther than we do?
D. H. Lawrence
They wanted genuine intimacy, but they could not get even normally near to anyone, because they scorned to take the first steps, they scorned the triviality which forms common human intercourse.
D. H. Lawrence
It's not art for art's sake, it's art for my sake.
D. H. Lawrence
He knew that conscience was chiefly fear of society or fear of oneself.
D. H. Lawrence
The nice clean intimacy which we now so admire between the sexes is sterilizing. It makes neuters. Later on, no deep, magical sex-life is possible.
D. H. Lawrence
Good God, what does it matter? If life is a tragedy, or a farce, or a disaster, or anything else, what do I care! Let life be what it likes. Give me a drink, that's what I want just now.
D. H. Lawrence
To every man who struggles with his own soul in mystery, a book that is a book flowers once, and seeds, and is gone.
D. H. Lawrence
For how can a man stand, unless he have something sure under his feet. Can a man tread the unstable water all his life, and call that standing? Better give in and drown at once.
D. H. Lawrence
Sanity means the wholeness of the consciousness. And our society is only part conscious, like an idiot.
D. H. Lawrence
I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.
D. H. Lawrence
Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe. The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass.
D. H. Lawrence
The Moon! Artemis! the great goddess of the splendid past of men! Are you going to tell me she is a dead lump?
D. H. Lawrence
And all the time she felt the reflection of his hopelessness in her. She couldn't quite, quite love in hoplessness. And he, being hopeless, couldn't ever love at all.
D. H. Lawrence
And in this passion for understanding her soul lay close to his she had him all to herself. But he must be made abstract first.
D. H. Lawrence
