Human love, human trust, are always perilous, because they break down. The greater the love, the greater the trust, and the greater the peril, the greater the disaster. Because to place absolute trust on another human being is in itself a disaster, both ways, since each human being is a ship that must sail its own course, even if it go in company with another ship.... And yet, love is the greatest thing between human beings. David Herbert Lawrence

Neither was in love with a young man unless he was she were verbally very near: that is unless they were profoundly interested, talking to one another.

For my part, I prefer my heart to be broken. It is so lovely, dawn-kaleidoscopic within the crack. David Herbert Lawrence
Democracy in America was never the same as Liberty in Europe. In Europe Liberty was a great life-throb. But in America Democracy was always something anti-life. The greatest democrats, like Abraham Lincoln, had always a sacrificial, self-murdering note in their voices. American Democracy was a form of self-murder, always. Or of murdering somebody else... The love, the democracy, the floundering into lust, is a sort of by-play. The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer.... David Herbert Lawrence

A woman unsatisfied must have luxuries. But a woman who loves a man would sleep on a board David Herbert Lawrence
