More quotes by T. E. Lawrence
The Beduin of the desert, born and grown up in it, had embraced with all his sour this nakedness too harsh for volunteers, for the reason, felt but inarticulate, that there he found himself indubitably free.
T. E. Lawrence
You wonder what I am doing? Well, so do I, in truth. Days seem to dawn, suns to shine, evenings to follow, and then I sleep. What I have done, what I am doing, what I am going to do, puzzle and bewilder me. Have you ever been a leaf and fallen from your tree in autumn and been really puzzled about it? That’s the feeling.
T. E. Lawrence
Isn't it true that the fault of birth rests somewhat on the child? I believe it's we who led our parents on to bear us, and it's our unborn children who make our flesh itch.
T. E. Lawrence
The literature of disease is more interesting to me than all the healthy books.
T. E. Lawrence
The beginning and ending of the secret of handling Arabs is unremitting study of them.
T. E. Lawrence
It is difficult to keep quiet when everything is being done wrong, but the less you lose your temper the greater your advantage. Also then you will not go mad yourself.
T. E. Lawrence
Your success will be proportioned to the amount of mental effort you devote to it.
T. E. Lawrence
A thick headcloth forms a good protection against the sun, and if you wear a hat your best Arab friends will be ashamed of you in public.
T. E. Lawrence
Many men would take the death-sentence without a whimper, to escape the life-sentence which fate carries in her other hand.
T. E. Lawrence
Club Secretary: I say, Lawrence. You are a clown! Lawrence: We can't all be lion tamers.
T. E. Lawrence
To me an unnecessary action, or shot, or casualty, was not only waste but sin.
T. E. Lawrence
He feared his maturity as it grew upon him with its ripe thought, its skill, its finished art yet which lacked the poetry of boyhood to make living a full end of life.
T. E. Lawrence
Dream your dreams with open eyes and make them come true.
T. E. Lawrence
If I could talk it like Dahoum, you would never be tired of listening to me.
T. E. Lawrence
If you wear Arab things, wear the best. Clothes are significant among the tribes, and you must wear the appropriate, and appear at ease in them. Dress like a Sherif, if they agree to it.
T. E. Lawrence
I haven't got a heart: only the former site of one, with a monument there to say that it has been removed and the area it occupied turned into a public garden, in pursuance of the slum-clearance scheme.
T. E. Lawrence
To make war upon rebellion is messy and slow, like eating soup with a knife.
T. E. Lawrence
Half a calamity is better than a whole one.
T. E. Lawrence
I had dropped one form and not taken on the other, and was become like Mohammed's coffin in our legend, with a resultant feeling of intense loneliness in life, and a contempt, not for other men, but for all they do.
T. E. Lawrence
As long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people, greedy, barbarous and cruel.
T. E. Lawrence
