• Night, in which everything was lost, went reaching out, beyond stars and sun. Stars and sun, a few bright grains, went spiraling round for terror, and holding each other in embrace, there in a darkness that outpassed them all, and left them tiny and daunted. So much, and himself, infinitesimal, at the core of nothingness, and yet not nothing.

  D. H. Lawrence

"Well, boy, I guess I'll beat it." Ah, the pleasure in saying that

• And still I look for the men who will dare to be
  roses of England
  wild roses of England
  men who are wild roses of England
  with metal thorns, beware!
  but still more brave and still more rare
  the courage of rosiness in a cabbage world
  fragrance of roses in a stale stink of lies
  rose-leaves to bewilder the clever fools
  and rose-briars to strangle the machine.

• I don't like your miserable lonely single front name. It is so limited, so meager; it has no versatility; it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.

  D. H. Lawrence

  Lonely, Children, Responsibility

• There was a warmth of fury in his last phrases. He meant she loved him more than he her. Perhaps he could not love her. Perhaps she had not in herself that which he wanted. It was the deepest motive of her soul, this self-mistrust. It was so deep she dared neither realise nor acknowledge. Perhaps she was deficient. Like an infinitely subtle shame, it kept her always back. If it were so, she would do without him. She would never let herself want him. She would merely see.
