More quotes by John Steinbeck
A woman holds dreadful power over a man who is in love with her but she should realize that the quality and force of his love is the index of his potential contempt and hatred.
John Steinbeck
All men are moral. Only their neighbors are not.
John Steinbeck
A good writer always works at the impossible.
John Steinbeck
But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.
John Steinbeck
Nearly everyone has his box of secret pain.
John Steinbeck
Prayer never brought in no side-meat. Takes a shoat to bring in pork.
John Steinbeck
A Texan outside of Texas is a foreigner.
John Steinbeck
It isn't like the rest of the country - it is like a nation itself - more tolerant than the rest in a curious way. Littleness gets swallowed up here. All the viciousness that makes other cities vicious is sucked up and absorbed in New York.
John Steinbeck
Books are the best friends you can have they inform you, and entertain you, and they don't talk back.
John Steinbeck
We can shoot rockets into space but we can't cure anger or discontent.
John Steinbeck
A man with a beard was always a little suspect anyway. You couldn't say you wore a beard because you liked a beard. People didn't like you for telling the truth. You had to say you had a scar so you couldn't shave.
John Steinbeck
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do...Try to be better than yourself.
John Steinbeck
In uncertainty I am certain that underneath their topmost layers of frailty men want to be good and want to be loved. Indeed most of their vices are attempted short cuts to love. When a man comes to die, no matter what his talents and influence and genius, if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror.
John Steinbeck
Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
John Steinbeck
To the heavens on the wings of a pig.
John Steinbeck
With all our horrors and faults, somewhere in us there is a shining.
John Steinbeck
Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don't believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it.
John Steinbeck
All of them had a restlessness in common.
John Steinbeck
Best thing is to get the words down every day. And it is time to start now.
John Steinbeck
... every little boy thinks he invented sin.
