D. H. Lawrence Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: September 11, 1885 - March 2, 1930
Birthday: September 11
Death: March 2
Melville had to fight, fight against the existing world, against his own very self. Only he would never quite put the knife in the heart of his paradisal ideal. Somehow, somewhere, somewhen, love should be a fulfillment, and life should be a thing of bliss. That was his fixed ideal. Fata Morgana. That was the pin he tortured himself on, like a pinned-down butterfly.
