More quotes by John Steinbeck
The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.
John Steinbeck
Must the hunger become anger and the anger fury before anything will be done?
John Steinbeck
If you are in love-that's a good thing-that's about the best thing that can happen to anyone.
John Steinbeck
There is nothing pleasanter than spading when the ground is soft and damp.
John Steinbeck
My own journey started long before I left, and was over before I returned.
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
It was deeply a part of Lee's kindness and understanding that man's right to kill himself is inviolable, but sometimes a friend can make it unnecessary
John Steinbeck
There's something desirable about anything you're used to as opposed to something you're not.
John Steinbeck
A few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool.
John Steinbeck
So in our pride we ordered for breakfast an omelet, toast and coffee and what has just arrived is a tomato salad with onions, a dish of pickles, a big slice of watermelon and two bottles of cream soda.
John Steinbeck
To the red country and part of the gray country of Oklahoma, the last rains came gently, and they did not cut the scarred earth.
John Steinbeck
Give me a used Bible and I will, I think, be able to tell you about a man by the places that are edged with the dirt of seeking fingers.
John Steinbeck
An ocean without unnamed monsters would be like sleep without dreams.
John Steinbeck
Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man.
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
A journey is a person in itself no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policies and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip a trip takes us.
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
When two people meet, each one is changed by the other so you've got two new people.
John Steinbeck
The direction of a big act will warp history, but probably all acts do the same in their degree, down to a stone stepped over in the path or the breath caught at sight of a pretty girl or a fingernail nicked in the garden soil.
John Steinbeck
An answer is invariably the parent of a whole family of new questions.
John Steinbeck
