Lawrence Quotes

I am most grateful to the CLF [Commonwealth Literary Fund] for providing the funds to give these lectures in Australian literature, but unfortunately they have neglected to provide any literature. I will lecture therefore on D H Lawrence's 'Kangaroo'.

—Stewart,John Innes Mackintosh

He said that, by god,D. H. Lawrence was right when he had said there must be a dumb, dark, dull, bitter belly- tension between a man and a woman, and how else could this be achieved save in the long monotony of marriage?

—Gibbons, Stella Dorothea

The modern novel has been many things, and functioned at many levels. It would keep D.H. Lawrence poor, and make Jilly Cooper and Jeffrey Archer rich.

—Bradbury, Malcolm Stanley
