Quote

Naught is possessed, neither gold, nor land nor love, nor life, nor peace, nor even sorrow nor death, nor yet salvation. Say of nothing: It is mine. Say only: It is with me.

Behold then Septimus Dodge returning to Dodge-town victorious. Not crowned with laurel, it is true, but wreathed in lists of things he has seen and sucked dry. Seen and sucked dry, you know: Venus de Milo, the Rhine or the Coliseum: swallowed like so many clams, and left the shells.

You don't want to love - your eternal and abnormal craving is to be loved. You aren't positive, you're negative. You absorb, absorb, as if you must fill yourself up with love, because you've got a shortage somewhere.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
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
Image
Rippling, rippling, rippling, like a flapping overlapping of soft flames, soft as feathers, running to points of brilliance, exquisite, exquisite and melting her all molten inside.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I should like [people] to like the purely individual thing in themselves, which makes them act in singleness. and They only like to do the collective thing.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Evil, what is evil? There is only one evil, to deny life As Rome denied Etruria And mechanical America Montezuma still

And what's romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything As You Like It, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose and it's always daisy-time.

No man is a man unless to his woman he is a pioneer.

The upshot was, my paintings must burn that English artists might finally learn.

A snake came to my water trough On a hot, hot day, and I in pajamas for the heat, To drink there.

A little morphine in all the air. It would be wonderfully refreshing for everyone.

So slowly the hot elephant hearts grow full of desire, and the great beasts mate in secret at last, hiding their fire.

Where sanity is there God is.
