More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
The east is not for me--the sensuous spiritual voluptuousness, the curious sensitiveness of the naked people, their black, bottomless, hopeless eyes.
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
The nearer a conception comes towards finality, the nearer does the dynamic relation, out of which this concept has arisen, draw to a close. To know is to lose.
D. H. Lawrence
Men are free when they belong to a living, organic, believing community, active in fulfilling some unfulfilled, perhaps unrealized purpose.
D. H. Lawrence
All hopes of eternity and all gain from the past he would have given to have her there, to be wrapped warm with him in one blanket, and sleep, only sleep. It seemed the sleep with the woman in his arms was the only necessity.
D. H. Lawrence
If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink at last, as human psychology.
D. H. Lawrence
The old ideals are dead as nails--nothing there. It seems to me there remains only this perfect union with a woman--sort of ultimate marriage--and there isn't anything else.
D. H. Lawrence
Don't be sucked in by the su-superior, don't swallow the culture bait, don't drink, don't drink and get beerier and beerier, do learn to discriminate.
D. H. Lawrence
The great pagan world of which Egypt and Greece were the last living termsonce had a vast and perhaps perfect science of itsown, a science in terms of life. In our era this science crumbled into magic and charlatanry. But even wisdom crumbles.
D. H. Lawrence
The word arse is as much god as the word face. It must be so, otherwise you cut off your god at the waist.
D. H. Lawrence
Nothing is as bad as a marriage that's a hopeless failure.
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
Creatures that hang themselves up like an old rag, to sleep And disgustingly upside down. Hanging upside down like rows of disgusting old rags And grinning in their sleep. Bats!
D. H. Lawrence
Sex is really only touch, the closest of all touch. And it's touch we're afraid of.
D. H. Lawrence
One sheds one's sicknesses in books - repeats and presents again one's emotions, to be master of them.
D. H. Lawrence
And it seems to me a blasphemy to say that the Holy Spirit is Love. In the Old Testament it is an Eagle: in the New it is a Dove.Christ insists on the Dove: but in His supreme moments He includes the Eagle.
D. H. Lawrence
She was always waiting, it seemed to be her forte.
D. H. Lawrence
In my very own self, I am part of my family.
D. H. Lawrence
All that we know is nothing, we are merely crammed wastepaper baskets, unless we are in touch with that which laughs at all our knowing.
D. H. Lawrence
Money is our madness, our vast collective madness.
D. H. Lawrence
