Ordinary World Creative Virtue

More From D. H. Lawrence

Let us consider what we call vicious luxury. no gratification, however sensual, can of itself be esteemed vicious. a gratification is only vicious when it engrosses all a man's expense, and leaves no ability for such acts of duty and generosity as are required by his situation and fortune. the same care and toil that raise a dish of peas at christmas would give bread to a whole family during six months.
Men Luxury Generosity
I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. i refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. to enter ordinary relationships. i want ecstasy. i am a neurotic — in the sense that i live in my world. i will not adjust myself to the world. i am adjusted to myself.
Ordinary World Want Proportion
The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra. and for me, i had always grown up with the belief that if someone succeeds it is because they are brilliant or talented or just better than me... and the more of these words i heard the smaller i always felt! but the truth is often very different... and for me to learn that ordinary me can achieve something extra-ordinary by giving that little bit extra, when everyone else gives up, meant the world to me and i really clung to it.

We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. with some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word many mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. and it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny.
