D. H. Lawrence

In every living thing there is the desire for love. ”

I believe that a man is converted when first he hears the low, vast murmur of life, of human life, troubling his hitherto unconscious self. ”

There is only one thing that a man really wants to do, all his life; and that is, to find his way to his God, his Morning Star, salute his fellow man, and enjoy the woman who has come the long way with him. ”

It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart, not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing. ”

I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets. ”

Towns oftener swamp one than carry one out onto the big ocean of life. ”

Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved. ”

But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions. ”

Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror. ”

The great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman. The man embraces in the woman all that is not himself, and from that one resultant, from that embrace, comes every new action. ”
