D.H. Lawrence

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself

A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it.

Life is ours to be spent, not tobe saved.

For my part, I prefer my heart to be broken. It is so lovely, dawn-kaleidoscopic within the crack.

Nobody knows you.You don't know yourself.And I, who am half in love with you,What am I in love with?My own imaginings?

It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart, not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing.
