We are almost always guilty of the hate we encounter.
More Quotes from D.H. Lawrence:
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.D.H. Lawrence
I feel I cannot touch humanity, even in thought, it is abhorrent to me. But a work of art is an act of faith, as Michael Angelo says, and one goes on writing, to the unseen witnesses.
D.H. Lawrence
Marriage is a long event of perpetual change in which a man and a woman mutually build up their souls and make themselves whole.
D.H. Lawrence
They were evidently small men, all wind and quibbles, flinging out their chuffy grain to us with far less interest than a farm-wife feels as she scatters corn to her fowls.
D.H. Lawrence
I never knew how soothing trees are - many trees and patches of open sunlight, and tree-presences - it is almost like having another being
D.H. Lawrence
Literary criticism can be no more than a reasoned account of the feeling produced upon the critic by the book he is criticizing. Criticism can never be a science it is, in the first place, much too personal, and in the second, it is concerned with values that science ignores. The touchstone is emotion, not reason. We judge a work of art by its effect on our sincere and vital emotion, and nothing else. All the critical twiddle-twaddle about style and form, all this pseudoscientific classifying and analyzing of books in an imitation-botanical fashion, is mere impertinence and mostly dull jargon.
