Quotes From "Women In Love" By D.h. Lawrence

1
I should feel the air move against me, and feel the things I touched, instead of having only to look at them. I'm sure life is all wrong because it has become much too visual - we can neither hear nor feel nor understand, we can only see. I'm sure that is entirely wrong. D.h. Lawrence

Her active living was suspended, but underneath, in the darkness, something was coming to pass. If only she could break through the last integuments! D.h. Lawrence
6
Humanity is a huge aggregate lie, and a huge lie is less than a small truth. Humanity is less, far less than the individual because the individual may sometimes be capable of truth, and humanity is a tree of lies. And they say that love is greatest thing, they persist in saying this, the foul liars, and just look at what they do (..It's a lie to say that love is greatest, what people want is hate - hate, and nothing but hate. And in the name of righteousness and love they get it.. If we want hate, let us have it - death, murder, torture, violent destruction- let us have it: but not in the name of love. D.h. Lawrence

8
They stood together in a false intimacy, a nervous contact. And he was in love with her. D.h. Lawrence
