More quotes by John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
In literary criticism the critic has no choice but to make over the victim of his attention into something the size and shape of himself.
John Steinbeck
Time is the only critic without ambition.
John Steinbeck
it was her habit to build up laughter out of inadequate materials.
John Steinbeck
A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going. And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, and darkness crept over the land from the east.
John Steinbeck
For many years we have suckled on fear and fear alone, and there is no good product of fear.
John Steinbeck
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do...Try to be better than yourself.
John Steinbeck
Trips to fairly unknown regions should be made twice once to make mistakes and once to correct them.
John Steinbeck
The Mojave is a big desert and a frightening one. It’s as though nature tested a man for endurance and constancy to prove whether he was good enough to get to California.
John Steinbeck
There's something desirable about anything you're used to as opposed to something you're not.
John Steinbeck
No one knows my ability the way I do. I am pushing against it all the time.
John Steinbeck
I don't think there is a single sentence in this whole book [East of Eden] that does not either develop character, carry on the story or provide necessary background.
John Steinbeck
Life could not change the sun or water the desert, so it changed itself.
John Steinbeck
A journey is a person in itself no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip a trip takes us.
John Steinbeck
There's a responsibility in being a person. It's more than just taking up space where air would be.
John Steinbeck
Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man.
John Steinbeck
The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster. Men made it, but they can't control it.
John Steinbeck
...no gift will ever buy back a man's love when you have removed his self-love.
John Steinbeck
I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature.
John Steinbeck
Unless a reviewer has the courage to give you unqualified praise, I say ignore the bastard.
John Steinbeck
