Does anyone know of any quotes from the book lady Chatterleys lover.?
This is from the Introduction of Lady Chatterley’s Love: Among the “things gone dead” (and it is only one) is the conventionalized, the calcified ethics of Christianity, and it was Lawrences belief that the human consciousness was capable of regeneration if only it could be lead away from the rubble into “new places.” “…for wide masses of people,” John Lehmann wrote in 1947, in a plea for a renewal of “the world of love,” the Christian symbols as they have known them have ceased to be significant, and their desperate need to find new symbols-even if those symbols should lead us back to a rediscovery of the central meaning of Christianity, restored through the discarding of outworn and corrupted images, and irrelevant accretions of fact.
