Today was the birthday of the writer DH Lawrence, so here are some quotes from him:
- Never trust the artist. Trust the tale.
- Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
- My God, these folks don't know how to love -- that's why they love so easily.
- Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.
- I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
- The fairest thing in nature, a flower, still has its roots in earth and manure.
- I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.
- Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.
- When one jumps over the edge, one is bound to land somewhere.
- God doesn't know things. He is things.
