D.H. Lawrence Quotes

Connie Went Slowly Home To Wragby. 'Home!'...it Was A Warm Word To Use For That Great, Weary Warren. But Then It Was A Word That Had Had Its Day. It Was Somehow Cancelled. All The Great Words, It Seemed To Connie, Were Cancelled For Her Generation: Love, Joy, Happiness, Home, Mother, Father, Husband, All These Great, Dynamic Words Were Half Dead Now, And Dying From Day To Day. Home Was A Place You Lived In, Love Was A Thing You Didn't Fool Yourself About, Joy Was A Word You Applied To A Good Charleston, Happiness Was A Term Of Hypocrisy Used To Bluff Other People, A Father Was An Individual Who Enjoyed His Own Existence, A Husband Was A Man You Lived With And Kept Going In Spirits. As For Sex, The Last Of The Great Words, It Was Just A Cocktail Term For An Excitement That Bucked You Up For A While, Then Left You More Raggy Than Ever. Frayed! It Was As If The Very Material You Were Made Of Was Cheap Stuff, And Was Fraying Out To Nothing.
