More quotes by 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
For many years we have suckled on fear and fear alone, and there is no good product of fear.
John Steinbeck
I’m in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it’s difficult to analyze love when you’re in it.
John Steinbeck
Men all do about the same thing when they wake up.
John Steinbeck
I guess I'm trying to say, Grab anything that goes by. It may not come around again.
John Steinbeck
They's times when how you feel got to be kep' to yourself.
John Steinbeck
Money is not nice. Money got no friends but more money.
John Steinbeck
Men really need sea-monsters in their personal oceans. An ocean without its unnamed monsters would be like a completely dreamless sleep.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
I guess there are never enough books.
John Steinbeck
Ah, the prayers of the millions, how they must fight and destroy each other on their way to the throne of God.
John Steinbeck
Saints can spring from any soil.
John Steinbeck
If you understand each other you will be kind to each other.
John Steinbeck
It would be good to live in a perpetual state of leave-taking, never to go nor to stay, but to remain suspended in that golden emotion of love and longing to be loved without satiety.
John Steinbeck
Niagara Falls is very nice. I'm very glad I saw it, because from now on if I am asked whether I have seen Niagara Falls I can say yes, and be telling the truth for once.
John Steinbeck
In literary criticism the critic has no choice but to make over the victim of his attention into something the size and shape of himself.
John Steinbeck
I know this... a man got to do what he got to do.
John Steinbeck
... a man is a very important thing-maybe more important than a star.
John Steinbeck
I suffer as always from the fear of putting down the first line. It is amazing the terrors, the magics, the prayers, the straitening shyness that assail one. It is as though the words were not only indelible but that they spread out like dye in water and color everything around them. A strange and mystic business, writing.
