More quotes by John Steinbeck
Well, every little boy thinks he invented sin. Virtue we think we learn, because we are told about it. But sin is our own designing.
John Steinbeck
I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.
John Steinbeck
If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones.
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
I have wondered why is it that some people are less affected and torn by the verities of life and death that others.
John Steinbeck
A fallow field is a sin.
John Steinbeck
You can't go home again because home has ceased to exist except in the mothballs of memory.
John Steinbeck
For the world was changing, and sweetness was gone, and virtue too. Worry had crept on a corroding world, and what was lost- good manners, ease and beauty? Ladies were not ladies anymore, and you couldn't trust a gentleman's word.
John Steinbeck
You've seen the sun flatten and take strange shapes just before it sinks in the ocean. Do you have to tell yourself every time that it's an illusion caused by atmospheric dust and light distorted by the sea, or do you simply enjoy the beauty of it?
John Steinbeck
The people say that the two seemed to be removed from human experience that they had gone through pain and had come out on the other side.
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
Oh, we can populate the dark with horrors, even we who think ourselves informed and sure, believing nothing we cannot measure or weigh. I know beyond all doubt that the dark things crowding in on me either did not exist or were not dangerous to me, and still I was afraid.
John Steinbeck
And finally comes culture, which is entertainment, relaxation, transport out of the pain of living.
John Steinbeck
I know this... a man got to do what he got to do.
John Steinbeck
A man who tells secrets or stories must think of who is hearing or reading, for a story has as many versions as it has readers.
John Steinbeck
Man has a choice and it's a choice that makes him a man.
John Steinbeck
[He] fell right into the oldest conviction in the world-- that the girl you are in love with can't possibly be anything but true and honest.
John Steinbeck
We can shoot rockets into space but we can't cure anger or discontent.
John Steinbeck
The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty.
John Steinbeck
The break would never come as long as fear could turn to wrath.
John Steinbeck
