John Steinbeck
Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass.
John Steinbeck
I think of my life as a kind of music, not always good music but still having form and melody.
John Steinbeck
You can't slice up morals.
John Steinbeck
The break would never come as long as fear could turn to wrath.
John Steinbeck
The profession of book writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business.
