More quotes by John Steinbeck
I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
John Steinbeck
Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don't believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it.
John Steinbeck
It must be a hard thing to kill a man you don't know and don't hate.
John Steinbeck
An answer is invariably the parent of a whole family of new questions.
John Steinbeck
The dairy man had a Ph.D. in mathematics, and he must have had some training in philosophy. He liked what he was doing and he didn't want to be somewhere else - one of the few contented people I met in my whole journey.
John Steinbeck
I wonder why it is that when I plan a route too carefully, it goes to pieces, whereas if I blunder along in blissful ignorance aimed in a fancied direction I get through with no trouble.
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
I see too many men delay their exits with a sickly, slow reluctance to leave the stage. It's bad theater as well as bad living.
John Steinbeck
Oh, we can populate the dark with horrors, even we who think ourselves informed and sure, believing nothing we cannot measure or weigh. I know beyond all doubt that the dark things crowding in on me either did not exist or were not dangerous to me, and still I was afraid.
John Steinbeck
I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts.
John Steinbeck
The last clear definite function of men—muscles aching to work, minds aching to create beyond the single need—this is man.
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
Maybe ever'body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.
John Steinbeck
Perhaps the less we have, the more we are required to brag.
John Steinbeck
They's times when how you feel got to be kep' to yourself.
John Steinbeck
Try to understand men. If you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and almost always leads to love.
John Steinbeck
In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.
John Steinbeck
I guess I'm trying to say, Grab anything that goes by. It may not come around again.
John Steinbeck
Man has a choice and it's a choice that makes him a man.
John Steinbeck
Oh, the strawberries don't taste as they used to and the thighs of women have lost their clutch!
John Steinbeck
