I'm back with my own kind of people here now, the bums and drinkers and no goods and it is a fine thing.
John Steinbeck
I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere.
John Steinbeck
Saints can spring from any soil.
John Steinbeck
Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish.
John Steinbeck
But you can't start over Only a boy can start over You and me Why, we're all that's been
John Steinbeck
To finish is sadness to a writer — a little death. He puts the last word down and it is done. But it isn't really done. The story goes on and leaves the writer behind, for no story is ever done.
John Steinbeck
A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going. And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, and darkness crept over the land from the east.
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
When the virus of restlessness begins to take possession of a wayward man, and the road away from Here seems broad and straight and sweet, the victim must first find himself a good and sufficient reason for going.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.
John Steinbeck

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
All great and precious things are lonely.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
All we got is the family unbroke.
John Steinbeck
Once I knew the City very well, spent my attic days there, while others were being a lost generation in Paris, I fledged in San Francisco, climbed its hills. slept in its parks, worked on its docks, marched and shouted in its revolts~ It had been to me in the days of my poverty and it did not resent my temporary solvency.
John Steinbeck
We know what we got, and we don't care whether you know it or not.
John Steinbeck
There are places in this world where fable, myth, preconception, love, longing or prejudice step in and so distort a cool, clear appraisal that a kind of high colored magical confusion takes permanent hold...Surely Texas is such a place.
John Steinbeck
