D. H. Lawrence - From the Modernism category:

I can never decide whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts, or my thoughts the result of my dreams. (D. H. Lawrence)

The picture must all come out of the artist's inside... It is the image that lives in the consciousness, alive like a vision, but unknown. (D. H. Lawrence)
D. H. Lawrence - From the Wonder category:
And when the wonder has gone out of a man he is dead... When all comes to all, the most precious element in life is wonder.

Lawrence)
D. H. Lawrence - From the Writing category:
-in a letter to Lady Cynthia Asquith, 1913...
I like to write when I feel spiteful: it's like having a good sneeze. (D. H. Lawrence)
