I should feel the air move against me, and feel the things I touched, instead of having only to look at them. I'm sure life is all wrong because it has become much too visual - we can neither hear nor feel nor understand, we can only see. I'm sure that is entirely wrong.
D. H. LawrenceTheir whole life depends on spending money, and now theyโve got none to spend. Thatโs our civilization and our education: bring up the masses to depend entirely on spending money, and then the money gives out.
D. H. LawrenceSo as long as you can forget your body you are happy and the moment you begin to be aware of your body, you are wretched. So if civilization is any good, it has to help us forget our bodies, and then time passes happily without our knowing it. Help us get rid of our bodies altogether.
