More From David Herbert Lawrence
- "I can’t bear art that you can walk round and admire. A book should be either a bandit or a rebel or a man in the crowd."
- "A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one’s religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification."
- "You don’t want to love – your eternal and abnormal craving is to be loved. You aren’t positive, you’re negative. You absorb, absorb, as if you must fill yourself up with love, because you’ve got a shortage somewhere."
