More quotes by John Steinbeck
Fearful and unprepared, we have assumed lordship over the life or death of the whole world, of all living things.
John Steinbeck
You can only understand people if you feel them in yourself.
John Steinbeck
I've lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate.
John Steinbeck
When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch.
John Steinbeck
I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere.
John Steinbeck
Farewell has a sweet sound of reluctance. Good-by is short and final, a word with teeth sharp to bite through the string that ties past to the future.
John Steinbeck
Best thing is to get the words down every day. And it is time to start now.
John Steinbeck
Courage and fear were one thing too.
John Steinbeck
There ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue. There's just stuff people do.
John Steinbeck
The camera need not be a cold mechanical device. Like the pen, it is as good as the man who uses it. It can be the extension of mind and heart.
John Steinbeck
For it is my opinion that we enclose and celebrate the freaks of our nation and our civilization. Yellowstone National Park is no more representative of America than is Disneyland.
John Steinbeck
To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. To a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.
John Steinbeck
A study of animal communities has this advantage: they are merely what they are, for anyone to see who will and can look clearly they cannot complicate the picture by worded idealisms, by saying one thing and being another here the struggle is unmasked and the beauty is unmasked.
John Steinbeck
..it's awful not to be loved. It's the worst thing in the world...It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel.
John Steinbeck
Trips to fairly unknown regions should be made twice once to make mistakes and once to correct them.
John Steinbeck
The difficulty of course is that I like women. It is only wives I am in trouble with.
John Steinbeck
Within that frame he went a long way and burned a deep scar.
John Steinbeck
We have to make a mark, even if it's only a scribble.
John Steinbeck
No one knows my ability the way I do. I am pushing against it all the time.
John Steinbeck
An unbelieved truth can hurt a man much more than a lie. It takes great courage to back truth unacceptable to our times. There's a punishment for it, and it's usually crucifixion.
John Steinbeck
