Every man has a mob self and an individual self, in varying proportions
More Quotes from D.H. Lawrence:
If we had reverence for our life, our life would take at once religious form. But as it is, in our filthy irreverence, it remains a disgusting slough, where each one of us goes so thoroughly disguised in dirt that we are all alike and indistinguishab.D.H. Lawrence
It ought to be lovely to be old, To be full of the peace that comes with experience And wrinkled ripe fulfillment

I cannot be a materialist -- but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery -- such suffering, such dreadful suffering -- and shall the short years of Christ's mission atone for it all
D.H. Lawrence
But then peace, peace I am so mistrustful of it so much afraid that it means a sort of weakness and giving in.
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
I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality. Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.
D.H. Lawrence
