Whether I get on in the world is a question; but I certainly don't get on very well with the world.
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. LawrenceIt seems to me that the chief thing about a woman - who is much of a woman - is that in the long run she is not to be had... She is not to be caught by any of the catch-words, love, beauty, honor, duty, worth, work, salvation - none of them - not in the long run. In the long run she only says Am I satisfied, or is there some beastly dissatisfaction gnawing and gnawing inside me. And if there is some dissatisfaction, it is physical, at least as much as psychic, sex as much as soul.
