Evening of a hot day started the little wind to moving among the leaves. The shade climbed up the hills toward the top. On the sand banks the rabbits sat as quietly as little gray, sculptured stones.

More quotes by John Steinbeck
I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere.
John Steinbeck
An answer is invariably the parent of a whole family of new questions.
John Steinbeck
...no gift will ever buy back a man's love when you have removed his self-love.
John Steinbeck
A fallow field is a sin.
John Steinbeck
...Samuel rode lightly on top of a book and he balanced happily among ideas the way a man rides white rapids in a canoe. But Tom got into a book, crawled and groveled between the covers, tunneled like a mole among the thoughts, and came up with the book all over his face and hands.
John Steinbeck
We have usurped many of the powers we once ascribed to God.
John Steinbeck
The words are meaningless except in terms of feeling. Does anyone act as the result of thought or does feeling stimulate action and sometimes thought implement it.
John Steinbeck
The study of history, while it does not endow with prophecy, may indicate lines of probability.
John Steinbeck
That man who is more then his elements knows the land that is more than its analysis.
John Steinbeck
I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything.
John Steinbeck
I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature.
John Steinbeck
People who are most afraid of their dreams convince themselves they don't dream at all.
John Steinbeck
People don't want advice...only corroboration.
John Steinbeck
An ocean without unnamed monsters would be like sleep without dreams.
John Steinbeck
Sir, this is a unique dog. He does not live by tooth or fang. He respects the right of cats to be cats although he doesn't admire them. He turns his steps rather than disturb an earnest caterpillar. His greatest fear is that someone will point out a rabbit and suggest that he chase it. This is a dog of peace and tranquility.
John Steinbeck
A question is a trap and an answer is your foot in it.
John Steinbeck
I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.
John Steinbeck
I wonder why progress looks so much like destruction.
John Steinbeck
American married life is the doormat to the whorehouse.
John Steinbeck
she knew she could help him best by being silent and by being near
