My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle.
- D.H. Lawrence
I was thinking about this quote for a good part of yesterday – I’ve always liked D.H. Lawrence. At first I was inclined to agree wholeheartedly because I thought it validated my preference for heart-use than head-use. Then I realised what Lawrence was talking about had nothing to do with right and wrong, but more truth and untruth, real and fake, and the close-to-zero control we have over our natural inclinations.
ps Forgive the wtf title of this post – it was just something that came to mind.
