Quotes from DH Lawrence
No form of love is wrong, so long as it is love, and you yourself honour what you are doing. Love has an extraordinary variety of forms! And that is all that there is in life, it seems to me.
- DH Lawrence

- DH Lawrence
Oh build your ship of death, oh build it in time and build it lovingly, and put it between the hands of your soul.
- DH Lawrence
Love is never a fulfillment. Life is never a thing of continuous bliss. There is no paradise. Fight and laugh and feel bitter and feel bliss: and fight again. Fight, fight. That is life.

- DH Lawrence

Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.
- DH Lawrence
Don't be on the side of the angels, it's too lowering.
- DH Lawrence
My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle.
