Favorite "Women in Love" quotes
Here's some favorite lines from
Women in Love:
There was a pause of strange enmity between the two men, that was very near to love.
The talk went on like a rattle of small artillery, always slightly sententious, with a sententiousness that was only emphasised by the continual crackling of a witticism, the continual spatter of verbal jest, designed to give a tone of flippancy to a stream of conversation that was all critical and general, a canal of conversation rather than a stream.
Chapter 12:
[Birken] : 'Why yes -- I don't make much of a success of my days. One seems always to be bumping one's nose against the blank wall ahead.'
Ursula laughed. She was frightened, and when she was frightened she always laughed and pretended to be jaunty.
`Your poor nose!' she said, looking at that feature of his face.
`No wonder it's ugly,' he replied.
