Quote by David Herbert Lawrence
The world of men is dreaming, it has gone mad in its sleep, and a snake is strangling it, but it can't wake up.
Summary
This quote suggests that humanity is trapped in a self-destructive and increasingly dangerous state of existence. The metaphor of a snake strangling the world implies that our actions and mindset are ultimately causing harm, yet we remain oblivious or complacent. The idea of being asleep indicates a collective ignorance or denial of the problems and challenges facing society. In this context, waking up would symbolize realizing our mistakes and taking necessary steps to address them in order to secure a better future.
