I don't like your miserable lonely single ''front name.'' It is so limited, so meager it has no versatility it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility it is worn threadbare with much use it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.
More Quotes from D.H. Lawrence:
You'll never succeed in idealizing hard work. Before you can dig mother earth you've got to take off your ideal jacket. The harder a man works, at brute labor, the thinner becomes his idealism, the darker his mind.D.H. Lawrence
Why has mankind had such a craving to be imposed upon Why this lust after imposing creeds, imposing deeds, imposing buildings, imposing language, imposing works of art The thing becomes an imposition and a weariness at last. Give us things that are alive and flexible, which won't last too long and become an obstruction and a weariness. Even Michelangelo becomes at last a lump and a burden and a bore. It is so hard to see past him.
D.H. Lawrence
That is your trick, your bit of filthy magic invisibility, and the anaesthetic power to deaden my attention in your direction.
D.H. Lawrence

Every night is different, you never know what it's going to be like. I remember every night. I don't like to compare them.
Lenny Kravitz
I felt that I ostracized myself by my behavior, by the past, by living with all the regrets of my mistakes, that I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day thinking and regretting why did I make such a mistake? Why have I made so many mistakes?
Sarah Ferguson
If things came easy, then everybody would be great at what they did, let's face it.
