D H Lawrence Life and Living quotes

" We ought to dance with rapture that we might be alive - and part of the living, incarnate cosmos. " # Life and Living

" We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn't matter so much as it seemed to do -- it's not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn't matter so much. " # Life and Living # Humankind # Love

" But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions. " # Life and Living
