John Steinbeck
We are lonesome animals. We spend all life trying to be less lonesome.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
A dying people tolerates the present, rejects the future, and finds its satisfactions in past greatness and half remembered glory
John Steinbeck
Only let a man say that he will do something and a whole mechanism goes to work to stop him.
John Steinbeck
I think bullfights are for men who aren't very brave and wish they were.
John Steinbeck
You can't go home again because home has ceased to exist except in the mothballs of memory.
John Steinbeck
The impulse of the American woman to geld her husband and castrate her sons is very strong.
John Steinbeck
He can kill anything for need but he could not even hurt a feeling for pleasure.
John Steinbeck
When we get these thruways across the whole country, as we will and must, it will be possible to drive from New York to California without seeing a single thing.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
