homemade gods

D.H. Lawrence [R] with Aldous Huxley [L]

"I have never seen a wild thing feel sorry for itself. A little bird will fall dead, frozen from a bough, without ever having felt sorry for itself."
- D.H. Lawrence [1885 - 1930]

"Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?" 
- Aldous Huxley [1894-1963]
