"There's always the hyena of morality at the garden gate, and the real wolf at the end of the street"

- David Herbert Lawrence

About this Quote

This quote by David Herbert Lawrence recommends that there is always a danger of ethical judgment and threat hiding in our environments. The "hyena of morality" represents the constant analysis and criticism of our actions and choices by society. It is constantly waiting at the "garden gate," prepared to catch any perceived misdeed. On the other hand, the "real wolf" signifies the real risks and difficulties that we might face in life, such as hardship, violence, or other hardships. This quote works as a suggestion that while we may be preoccupied with social expectations and judgments, we must also be aware of the real threats that exist on the planet.
