Quote

A circle swoop, and a quick parabola under the bridge arches Where light pushes through A sudden turning upon itself of a thing in the air. A dip to the water.

But then peace, peace! I am so mistrustful of it: so much afraid that it means a sort of weakness and giving in.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The human consciousness is really homogeneous. There is no complete forgetting, even in death.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Recklessness is almost a man's revenge on his woman. He feels he is not valued so he will risk destroying himself to deprive her altogether.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
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

D. H. Lawrence
Image
How the horse dominated the mind of the early races especially of the Mediterranean! You were a lord if you had a horse. Far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances...The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action in man!
D. H. Lawrence
Image
How can any man be free without a soul of his own, that he believes in and won't sell at any price?
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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
Image
The human being is a most curious creature. He thinks he has got one soul, and he has got dozens.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
In the ancient recipe, the three antidotes for dullness or boredom are sleep, drink, and travel. It is rather feeble. From sleep you wake up, from drink you become sober, and from travel you come home again. And then where are you? No, the two sovereign remedies for dullness are love or a crusade.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
A man must keep his earnestness nimble, to escape ridicule.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I think I am much too valuable a creature to offer myself to a German bullet gratis and for fun.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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
Image
You feel free in Australia. There is great relief in the atmosphere - a relief from tension, from pressure, an absence of control of will or form. The Skies open above you and the areas open around you.

Never trust the teller, trust the tale.

For God's sake, all of you, say spiteful things about me, then I shall know I mean something to you. Don't say surgaries, or I'm done.
