David Herbert Lawrence Cytaty o kobietach

„Co do miłości, spartaczyliśmy tę sprawę do cna,
odkąd zrobiliśmy z niej ideał.
Gdy przysięgam kobiecie, określonej kobiecie, dozgonną miłość,
w tym samym momencie zaczynam jej nienawidzić.”

„Kobiety przymierzając się do wzorów, stworzonych przez mężczyzn, stały się z czasem takie, jak wymyślone przez nich prototypy.”
