Rupert Birkin:
I abhor humanity, I wish it was swept away. It could go, and there would be no loss if every human being perished tomorrow.
Ursula Brangwen:
So, you want everybody in the world destroyed?
Rupert Birkin:
Yes, absolutely. Don't you yourself think it's a wonderful, clear idea? A world empty of people... just uninterrupted grass and a rabbit sitting there?
Ursula Brangwen:
You don't seem to see much love in humanity. What about individual love?
Rupert Birkin:
I don't believe in love any more than I believe in hate or grief. Love is an emotion. You feel or don't feel, according to your circumstances.
Ursula Brangwen:
If you don't believe in love, what do you believe in? Just in the end of the world and rabbits?
Rupert Birkin:
The point about L-O-V-E is that we hate the word, because we've vulgarised it. lt should be taboo, forbidden from utterance for many years... till we've found a new and better idea.
