"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." - D. H. Lawrence

"I can never decide whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts, or my thoughts the result of my dreams." - D. H. Lawrence

"We don't exist unless we are deeply and sensually in touch with that which can be touched but not known." - D. H. Lawrence

"One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it... and the journey is always towards the other soul." - D. H. Lawrence

"But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions." - D. H. Lawrence

"When one jumps over the edge, one is bound to land somewhere." - D. H. Lawrence
