You can do nothing if you are kept outside
An interesting conversation from the D.H. Lawrence novel, Lady Chatterley’s Lover. The conversation is between Michaelis, a very successful Irish playwright, Sir Clifford Chatterley and Lady Constance “Connie” Chatterley.
“Money!” he said. “Money is a sort of instinct. It’s a sort of property of nature in a man to make money. It’s nothing you do. It’s no trick you play. It’s a sort of permanent accident of your own nature; once you start, you make money, and you go on; up to a point, I suppose.”
“But you’ve got to begin,” said Clifford.
“Oh quite! You’ve got to get in. You can do nothing if you are kept outside. You’ve got to beat your way in. Once you’ve done that, you can’t help it.”
“But could you have made money except by plays?” asked Clifford.
“Oh probably not! I may be a good writer or I may be a bad one, but a writer and a writer of plays is what I am, and I’ve got to be. There’s no question of that.”
“And you think it’s a writer of popular plays that you’ve got to be?” asked Connie.
“There, exactly!” he said, turning to her in a sudden flash. “There’s nothing in it! There’s nothing in popularity. There’s nothing in the public, if it comes to that. There’s nothing really in my plays to make them popular. It’s not that. They just are, like the weather … the sort that will have to be … for the time being.”
D.H. Lawrence – Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928)
