More quotes by D. H. Lawrence

Censors are dead men
set up to judge between life and death.
For no live, sunny man would be a censor,
he'd just laugh.

Censors (1929)

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.

Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928)

Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me!

Song of a Man who has Come Through (1917)

Men fight for liberty, and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

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

Women in Love (1920)

the Devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.
