Nobody knows you. You don't know yourself. And I, who am half in love with you, What am I in love with? My own imaginings?
D. H. LawrenceOne man isn't any better than another, not because they are equal, but because they are intrinsically other, that there is no termof comparison.
D. H. LawrenceMy belief is in the blood and flesh as being wiser than the intellect. The body-unconsciou s is where life bubbles up in us. It is how we know that we are alive, alive to the depths of our souls and in touch somewhere with the vivid reaches of the cosmos.
D. H. LawrenceThere is nothing to save, now all is lost, but a tiny core of stillness in the heart like the eye of a violet.
D. H. LawrenceOne must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it, like any knight of the grail, and the journey is always towards the other soul, not away from it. . . . To love you have to learn to understand the other, more than she understands herself, and to submit to her understanding of you. It is damnably difficult and painful, but it is the only thing which endures.
D. H. Lawrence
