More quotes by John Steinbeck
They's times when how you feel got to be kep' to yourself.
John Steinbeck
You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.
John Steinbeck
War ... a reversal of the rules where a man is permitted to kill all the humans he can.
John Steinbeck
Oh, the strawberries don't taste as they used to and the thighs of women have lost their clutch!
John Steinbeck
He learned that when people are very poor they still have something to give and the impulse to give it.
John Steinbeck
I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that's why.
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
American cities are like badger holes, ringed with trash--all of them--surrounded by piles of wrecked and rusting automobiles, and almost smothered in rubbish. Everything we use comes in boxes, cartons, bins, the so-called packaging we love so much. The mountain of things we throw away are much greater than the things we use.
John Steinbeck
When a man comes to die, no matter what his talents and influences and genius, if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror.
John Steinbeck
Three hours of writing require twenty hours of preparation. Luckily I have learned to dream about the work, which saves me some working time.
John Steinbeck
What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.
John Steinbeck
The break would never come as long as fear could turn to wrath.
John Steinbeck
People who are most afraid of their dreams convince themselves they don't dream at all.
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
There's nothing in the world like that first taste of beer.
John Steinbeck
life passes by in a wink so try to never miss a moment of it
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
To the heavens on the wings of a pig.
John Steinbeck
He drank too much when he could get it, ate too much when it was there, talked too much all the time.
John Steinbeck
And it never failed that during the dry years the people forgot about the rich years, and during the wet years they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way.
John Steinbeck
