When I wish I was rich, then I know I am ill.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I have a very great fear of love. It is so personal. Let each bird fly with its own wings, and each fish swim its own course.--Morning brings more than love. And I want to be true to the morning.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I hate the actor and audience business. An author should be in among the crowd, kicking their shins or cheering them on to some mischief or merriment.
D. H. Lawrence
Image

D. H. Lawrence
Image
The history of the cosmos is the history of the struggle of becoming. When the dim flux of unformed life struggled, convulsed back and forth upon itself, and broke at last into light and dark came into existence as light, came into existence as cold shadow then every atom of the cosmos trembled with delight.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
One could laugh at the world better if it didn't mix tender kindliness with its brutality.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Unless one decorates one's house for oneself alone, best leave it bare, for other people are walleyed.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
And can a man his own quietus make with a bare bodkin?
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Why does the thin grey strand Floating up from the forgotten Cigarette between my fingers, Why does it trouble me?
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Necessary, forever necessary, to burn out false shames and smelt the heaviest ore of the body into purity.

Image
there is no pornography without a secrecy.

Image
I shall be glad when you have strangled the invincible respectability that dogs your steps.

Image
They lived freely among the students, they argued with the men over philosophical, sociological and artistic matters, they were just as good as the men themselves: only better, since they were women.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
That is your trick, your bit of filthy magic: invisibility, and the anaesthetic power to deaden my attention in your direction.

The world is wonderful and beautiful and good beyond one's wildest imagination.
