D. H. Lawrence

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

People always make war when they say they love peace.

Men are freest when they are most unconscious of freedom. The shout is a rattling of chains, always was.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

Where the Mind is biggest, the Heart, the Senses, Magnanimity, Charity, Tolerance, Kindliness, and the rest of them scarcely have room to breathe.

I've overcome physical and mental brutality - and fought back.
