John Steinbeck
Try to understand men. If you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and almost always leads to love.
John Steinbeck
An ocean without unnamed monsters would be like sleep without dreams.
John Steinbeck
Books are the best friends you can have they inform you, and entertain you, and they don't talk back.

Syntax, my lad. It has been restored to the highest place in the republic.
John Steinbeck
I think of my life as a kind of music, not always good music but still having form and melody.
John Steinbeck
There's a responsibility in being a person. It's more than just taking up space where air would be.
