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.

More quotes by D. H. Lawrence
And every true artist is the salvation of every other. But only artists produce for each other the world that is fit to live in.
D. H. Lawrence
What the eye doesn't see and the mind doesn't know, doesn't exist.
D. H. Lawrence
The human consciousness is really homogeneous. There is no complete forgetting, even in death.
D. H. Lawrence
An illusion which is a real experience is worth having.
D. H. Lawrence
It is time that the Protestant Church, the Church of the Son, should be one again with the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of the Father. It is time that man shall cease, first to live in the flesh, with joy, and then, unsatisfied, to renounce and to mortify the flesh.
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
What's that as flies without wings, your ladyship? Time! Time!
D. H. Lawrence
The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action.
D. H. Lawrence
Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day, as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer.
D. H. Lawrence
Sentimentalism is the working off on yourself of feelings you haven't really got.
D. H. Lawrence
It seems to me a purely lyric poet gives himself, right down to his sex, to his mood, utterly and abandonedly, whirls himself roundtill he spontaneously combusts into verse. He has nothing that goes on, no passion, only a few intense moods, separate like odd stars, and when each has burned away, he must die.
D. H. Lawrence
And this is the final meaning of work: the extension of human consciousness. The lesser meaning of work is the achieving of self-preservation.
D. H. Lawrence
If a novel reveals true and vivid relationships, it is a moral work, no matter what the relationships consist in. If the novelisthonours the relationship in itself, it will be a great novel.
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
Let there be an end ... of all this welter of pity, which is only self-pity reflected onto some obvious surface.
D. H. Lawrence
The novel is the highest example of subtle interrelatedness that man has discovered.
D. H. Lawrence
You can't insure against the future, except by really believing in the best bit of you, and in the power beyond it.
D. H. Lawrence
In the dust where we have buried the silent races and their abominations we have buried so much of the delicate magic of life.
D. H. Lawrence
Death is ... a travelling asunder into elemental chaos. And from the elemental chaos all is cast forth again into creation. Therefore death also is but a cul-de-sac, a melting-pot.
D. H. Lawrence
I cannot get any sense of an enemy - only of a disaster.
D. H. Lawrence
