The world fears a new experience more than it fears anything. Because a new experience displaces so many old experiences. . . . The world doesn't fear a new idea. It can pigeon-hole any idea. But it can't pigeon-hole a real new experience.

Fear, Real, New Experiences

Only the flow matters; live and let live, love and let love. There is no point in love.

Love, Matter, Flow

D. H. Lawrence (1962). “The Art of Perversity”

Away with all ideals. Let each individual act spontaneously from the forever incalculable prompting of the creative wellhead within him. There is no universal law.

Law, Creative, Forever

Lying, Lambs, Lions

The whole point about the true unconscious is that it is all the time moving forward, beyond the range of its own fixed laws or habits. It is no good trying to superimpose an ideal nature upon the unconscious.

Change, Moving, Law

D. H. Lawrence (2006). “Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious and Fantasia of the Unconscious”, p.16, Courier Corporation

The more I see of democracy the more I dislike it. It just brings everything down to the mere vulgar level of wages and prices, electric light and water closets, and nothing else.

Light, Water, Democracy

D. H. Lawrence, James T. Boulton (2000). “The Selected Letters of D. H. Lawrence”, p.244, Cambridge University Press

It seems to me that the chief thing about a woman - who is much of a woman - is that in the long run she is not to be had... She is not to be caught by any of the catch-words, love, beauty, honor, duty, worth, work, salvation - none of them - not in the long run. In the long run she only says Am I satisfied, or is there some beastly dissatisfaction gnawing and gnawing inside me. And if there is some dissatisfaction, it is physical, at least as much as psychic, sex as much as soul.

Love, Running, Sex

That's just what a woman is. She thinks she knows what's good for a man, and she's going to see he gets it; and no matter if he's starving, he may sit and whistle for what he needs, while she's got him, and is giving him what's good for him.

Women, Thinking, Giving

D. H. Lawrence (2016). “D. H. Lawrence: The Complete Novels (Book House)”, p.598, Book House

Nothing that comes from the deep, passional soul is bad, or can be bad.

Soul, Literature

D. H. Lawrence (2002). “Women in Love”, p.4, Courier Corporation

The purest lesson our era has taught is that man, at his highest, is an individual, single, isolate, alone, in direct soul-communication with the unknown God, which prompts within him.

God, Communication, Men

D.H. Lawrence (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of D.H. Lawrence (Illustrated)”, p.2907, Delphi Classics

A man was like a child with his appetites. A woman had to yield him what he wanted, or like a child he would probably turn nasty and flounce away and spoil what was a very pleasant connection.

Children, Men, Yield

D. H. Lawrence, Michael Squires (2002). “Lady Chatterley's Lover and A Propos of 'Lady Chatterley's Lover'”, p.7, Cambridge University Press

I got the blues thinking of the future, so I left off and made some marmalade. It's amazing how it cheers one up to shred orange and scrub the floor.

Cheer, Thinking, Orange

D. H. Lawrence, James T. Boulton (2000). “The Selected Letters of D. H. Lawrence”, p.55, Cambridge University Press

How the horse dominated the mind of the early races especially of the Mediterranean! You were a lord if you had a horse. Far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances...The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action in man!

Horse, Dark, Men

Where the electron behaves and misbehaves as it will, where the forces tie themselves up into knots of atoms and come united.

Science, Ties, Atoms

Men always do leave off really thinking, when the last bit of wild animal dies in them.

Animal, Men, Thinking

D. H. Lawrence, Brian Finney (1983). “St Mawr and Other Stories”, p.61, Cambridge University Press

There's nothing wrong with sexual feelings in themselves, so long as they are straightforward and not sneaking or sly. The right sort of sex stimulus is invaluable to human daily life. Without it the world grows grey.

Sex, Long, Feelings

D. H. Lawrence, James T. Boulton (2004). “D. H. Lawrence: Late Essays and Articles”, p.240, Cambridge University Press

She looked at him, and oh, the weariness to her, of the effort to understand another language, the weariness of hearing him, attending to him, making out who he was, as he stood there fair-bearded and alien, looking at her. She knew something of him, of his eyes. But she could not grasp him. She closed her eyes.

Eye, Effort, Hearing

D. H. Lawrence (1995). “The Rainbow”, p.61, Wordsworth Editions

Recklessness is almost a man's revenge on his woman. He feels he is not valued so he will risk destroying himself to deprive her altogether.

Revenge, Men, Risk

D.H. Lawrence (2015). “D. H. Lawrence The Dover Reader”, p.181, Courier Dover Publications

For to desire is better than to possess, the finality of the end was dreaded as deeply as it was desired.

Desire, Ends, Finality

D. H. Lawrence (2016). “D. H. Lawrence: The Complete Novels (Book House)”, p.1143, Book House

It is not woman who claims the highest in man. It is a man's own religious soul that drives him on beyond women, to his supreme activity. For his highest, man is responsible to God alone.

God, Religious, Women

I cannot get any sense of an enemy - only of a disaster.

Enemy, Disaster

D. H. Lawrence, George J. Zytaruk, James T. Boulton (2002). “The Letters of D. H. Lawrence”, p.214, Cambridge University Press

Love, Life, Sex

I like relativity and quantum theories because I don't understand them and they make me feel as if space shifted about like a swan that can't settle, refusing to sit still and be measured; and as if the atom were an impulsive thing always changing its mind.

Science, Swans, Space

D.H. Lawrence (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of D.H. Lawrence (Illustrated)”, p.6729, Delphi Classics

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.
