Quote

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

My God, what a clumsy olla putrida James Joyce is! Nothing but old fags and cabbage stumps of quotations from the Bible and the rest, stewed in the juice of deliberate, journalistic dirty-mindedness—what old and hard-worked staleness, masquerading as the all-new!

Another head - and a black alpaca jacket and a serviette this time - to tell us coffee is ready. Not before it is time, too.

You can't insure against the future, except by really believing in the best bit of you, and in the power beyond it.

Oh the innocent girl in her maiden teens knows perfectly well what everything means.

The tragedy is when you've got sex in the head instead of down where it belongs.

The sense of wonder, that is our sixth sense.

The history of our era is the nauseating and repulsive history of the crucifixion of the procreative body for the glorification ofthe spirit.

Gods die with men who have conceived them. But the god-stuff roars eternally, like the sea, with too vast a sound to be heard.

Image
To penetrate into Italy is like a most fascinating act of self-discovery-back, back down the old ways of time. Strange and wonderful chords awake in us, and vibrate again after many hundreds of years of complete forgetfulness.

Any inhibition must be wrong, since inevitably in the end it causes neurosis and insanity.

Image
Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The only history is a mere question of one's struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.

Image
There is nothing to save, now all is lost, but a tiny core of stillness in the heart like the eye of a violet.

But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions.

Sleep is still most perfect, in spite of hygienists, when it is shared with a beloved. The warmth, the security and peace of soul, the utter comfort from the touch of the other, knits the sleep, so that it takes the body and soul completely in its healing.

Men are free when they belong to a living, organic, believing community, active in fulfilling some unfulfilled, perhaps unrealized purpose.

An illusion which is a real experience is worth having.

I am part of the sun as my eye is part of me. That I am part of the earth my feet know perfectly, and my blood is part of the sea. There is not any part of me that is alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no existence by itself, it is only the glitter of the sun on the surfaces of the water.
