Happiness Fall Ends

More From D. H. Lawrence

It is this nothingness (in solitude) that i have to face in my solitude, a nothingness so dreadful that everything in me wants to run to my friends, my work, and my distractions so that i can forget my nothingness and make myself believe that i am worth something. the task is to persevere in my solitude, to stay in my cell until all my seductive visitors get tired of pounding on my door and leave me alone. the wisdom of the desert is that the confrontation with our own frightening nothingness forces us to surrender ourselves totally and unconditionally to the lord jesus christ.

One's condition on marijuana is always existential. one can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. one feels one's being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness - the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others.

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. it is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. it is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.

Since copernicus, man seems to have got himself on an inclined plane-now he is slipping faster and faster away from the center into-what? into nothingness? into a 'penetrating sense of his nothingness?' ... all science, natural as well as unnatural-which is what i call the self-critique of knowledge-has at present the object of dissuading man from his former respect for himself, as if this had been but a piece of bizarre conceit.
Science Men Self
The world is so unhappy because it is ignorant of the true self. man’s real nature is happiness. happiness is inborn in the true self. man’s search for happiness is an unconscious search for his true self. the true self is imperishable; therefore, when a man finds it, he finds a happiness which does not come to an end.

Similar Quotes
I believe in intuition and inspiration. imagination is more important than knowledge. for knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. it is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

We pride ourselves on being the only species that understands the concept of risk, yet we have a confounding habit of worrying about mere possibilities while ignoring probabilities, building barricades against perceived dangers while leaving ourselves exposed to real ones.

I believe in research you cannot do enough research; believability comes out of what's real.
