D. H. Lawrence

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

Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved.

I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.

The human soul needs beauty more than bread.

Instead of chopping yourself down to fit the world, chop the world down to fit yourself. 

Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.

Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe. The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass.

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.

Love is never a fulfillment. Life is never a thing of continuous bliss. There is no paradise. Fight and laugh and feel bitter and feel bliss: and fight again. Fight, fight. That is life.

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.

Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless.
