D. H. Lawrence

Whoever reads me will be in the thick of the scrimmage, and if he doesn't like it, if he wants a safe seat in the audience - let him read someone else.  - D. H. Lawrence

The chief thing about a woman -- who is much of a woman -- is that in the long run she is not to be had... She is not to be caught by any of the catch-words, love, beauty, honor, duty, worth, work, salvation -- none of them -- not in the long run. In the long run she only says "Am I satisfied, or is there some beastly dissatisfaction gnawing and gnawing inside me." And if there is some dissatisfaction, it is physical, at least as much as psychic, sex as much as soul. - D. H. Lawrence

Now it is autumn and the falling fruit and the long journey towards oblivion. (from 'The Ship of Death') - D. H. Lawrence
