"Among a thousand women, not even one can resist you" (On Winning Love),
"You must make your lover restless, awaken the cooled flame" (On Keeping Love),
"Let him be on edge, wondering what is going on" (On Love Remedies),
"A woman who fears surrendering to a conventional man often shamefully falls into the arms of a rogue." — Ovid advised young women.
D.H. Lawrence's main works are centered around the theme of "sexuality," aiming to showcase the "alienation" of modern people at the turn of the century. By emphasizing "chastity" and the "spiritual aspect" of sex, he created "sexual anxiety" for both men and women. He believed that many of the problems in Victorian England stemmed from "sexual repression," especially "female sexual repression." He thought, "Sex is beauty," and "Beauty is sex." To repress sex is to repress beauty; to hate sex is to hate beauty.
