I want to go south, where there is no autumn, where the cold doesn't crouch over one like a snow leopard waiting to pounce. The heart of the North is dead, and the fingers of cold are corpse fingers.

— D. H. Lawrence

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)

God is only a great imaginative experience.

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.
