Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

One watches them on the seashore, all the people, and there is something pathetic, almost wistful in them, as if they wished their lives did not add up to this scaly nullity of possession, but as if they could not escape. It is a dragon that has devoured us all: these obscene, scaly houses, this insatiable struggle and desire to possess, to possess always and in spite of everything, this need to be an owner, lest one be owned. It is too hideous and nauseating. Owners and owned, they are like the two sides of a ghastly disease. One feels a sort of madness come over one, as if the world had become hell. But it is only superimposed: it is only a temporary disease. It can be cleaned away.: D. H. Lawrence (1885 - 1930)

Results from Poor Man's College:

The mind can assert anything and pretend it has proved it. My beliefs I test on my body, on my intuitional consciousness, and when I get a response there, then I accept.: D. H. Lawrence (1885 - 1930)

Results from Contributed Quotations:

Never trust the artist. Trust the tale.: D. H. Lawrence (1885 - 1930), Studies in Classic American Literature
I have never seen a wild thing feel sorry for itself. A little bird will fall dead, frozen from a bough, without ever having felt sorry for itself.: D. H. Lawrence (1885 - 1930)
Here, you can't live as you like - in any way or circumstance. You're like a bit out of those coloured mosaics in the hall, you have to fit in your own set, fit into your own pattern, because you're put there from the first. But you don't want to be like a fixed bit of a mosaic - you want to fuse into life, and melt and mix with the rest of folk, to have some things burned out of you.: D. H. Lawrence (1885 - 1930), The White Peacock
There are three cures for ennui: sleep, drink and travel.: D. H. Lawrence (1885 - 1930), Women in Love
