Quote by D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

“Bu yaşamda en canalıcı gereklilik, insanın sevgilisini bütünüyle, kesinlikle, ten ile ruhun tüm çıplaklığıyla sevmesidir... Bana bildirimin ne olduğunu sormuştun bir gün. Bir bildirim varsa benim, budur işte. Sağlıklı toplumlar, sağlıklı yönetimler böyle bir ilişkiyi paylaşan erkeklerle kadınlardan oluşacaktır. Yoksa ne zorbalık yönetimlerinde alıp yürüyen ilkel bir erkeklik gösterisinden, ne de cıncık boncuklara boğulmuş boyalı bir dişilik özentisinden yarar gelir insan yaşamına. Uygarlığımız bize, cinsel albeninin titiz bir incelikle nasıl sürdürülebileceğinin yolunu, yordamını öğretmiş olsaydı, hepimiz sevgi içinde sürdürebilirdik yaşamlarımızı, bir kıvılcım parlamış olurdu içimizde, her türlü yola, her şeye dopdolu bir coşkuyla yönelebilirdik... Oysa yığınla ölüm külü dolduruyor yaşamı şimdi.”

“He did not mind if the rain drops came on him: he would have lain and got wet through: he felt as if nothing mattered, as if his living were smeared away into the beyond, near and quite lovable. This strange, gentle reaching-out to death was new to him...To him, life seemed a shadow, day a white shadow; night, and death, and stillness, and inaction, this seemed like BEING. To be alive, to be urgent and insistent - that was NOT-TO-BE. The highest of all was to melt out into the darkness and sway there, identified with the great Being.”

“And I'm not sensitive at all, Philip. Just mean." He smiled down at her. "Have you ever considered having an affair with a younger man?" She laughed, taking the compliment as it was meant. "You're a charmer. Since you amuse me, I'll give you a little advice. Charm doesn't work on Addy. Patience might." "I appreciate it," Philip said. He was watching Adrianne when she lifted a hand to her throat and found it bare. He saw her instant of surprise and confusion, then the tightly controlled temper as she zeroed in on him. With a smile he sent her a nod of acknowledgment. Her necklace of faux diamonds and sapphires was resting comfortably in his pocket. The bastard. The low, slimy bastard. He'd stolen from her. He'd lifted the necklace right off her throat without her feeling a thing but the pumping of her pulse. Then he'd taunted her. He'd looked right at her and grinned. He was going to pay for it, Adrianne thought as she tossed her gloves into her shoulder bag. And he was going to pay for it tonight. She knew it was reckless.”

“He walked outside onto the terrace and sat. Obviously settled and comfortable, he poured coffee. There were ways and ways to gain trust, he thought. With a bird with a broken wing, it took patience, care, and a gentle touch. With a high-strung horse that had been whipped, it took diligence and the risk of being kicked. With a woman, it took a certain amount of charm. He was willing to combine all three.”

“All the morning since he got up he had been trying to fight through his duties—leaning against a hope—a hope that first had bowed, and then had broke as soon as he really tried its weight. There was not a sign of Sylvia’s liking for him to be gathered from the most careful recollection of the past evening. It was of no use thinking there was. It was better to give it up altogether and at once. But what if he could not? What if the thought of her was bound up with his life; and that once torn out by his own free will, the very roots of his heart must come also?”
