Let man only approach his own self with a deep respect, even reverence for all that the creative soul, the god-mystery within us, puts forth. then we shall all be sound and free. lewdness is hateful because it impairs our integrity and our proud being. the creative, spontaneous soul sends forth its promptings of desire and aspiration in us. these promptings are our true fate, which is our business to fulfill. a fate dictated from outside, from theory or from circumstance, is a false fate.

Let Man Only Approach His Own Self

D. H. Lawrence

Let man only approach his own self with a deep respect, even reverence for all that the creative soul, the god-mystery within us, puts forth. then we shall all be sound and free. lewdness is hateful because it impairs our integrity and our proud being. the creative, spontaneous soul sends forth its promptings of desire and aspiration in us. these promptings are our true fate, which is our business to fulfill. a fate dictated from outside, from theory or from circumstance, is a false fate.

More From D. H. Lawrence

Promptings for us to do good come from the holy ghost. these promptings nudge us further along the straight and narrow path of discipleship. the natural man doesn't automatically think of doing good. it isn't natural. how many people worry about the car behind them or the person below them? the natural man just doesn't do it. for us, however, these promptings enlarge our awareness of other people's needs and then prod us to act accordingly.

Either christianity is true or it's false. if you bet that it's true, and you believe in god and submit to him, then if it is true, you've gained god, heaven, and everything else. if it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. if you bet that christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. but if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.

An army is a collection of armed men obliged to obey one man. every enactment, every change of rule which impairs this principle weakens the army, impairs its value, and defeats the very object of its existence.

Wise politicians will be cautious about fettering the government with restrictions that cannot be observed, because they know that every break of the fundamental laws, though dictated by necessity, impairs that sacred reverence which ought to be maintained in the breast of rulers towards the constitution of a country.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

Cost is the father and compensation the mother of progress.

My mother was canadian, so you never knew what she was thinking.

...and again she wished for sherwood, and the dappled roof of leaves that never weighed upon her. she pulled her scarf closer around her and thought, i would rather live in a hut in the woods; a hut like the one of my first memories, with a clean-swept dirt floor, and a brown-eyed boy watching me from behind his mother's skirts as i watched him from behind mine.

Just because you become a mother, it doesn't mean you lose who you are.
