More quotes by John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
You can only understand people if you feel them in yourself.
John Steinbeck
I dislike helplessness in other people and in myself, and this is by far my greatest fear of illness.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
The lies we tell about our duty and our purposes, the meaningless words of science and philosophy, are walls that topple before a bewildered little ‘why’.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
... every little boy thinks he invented sin.
John Steinbeck
Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man.
John Steinbeck
An answer is invariably the parent of a whole family of new questions.
John Steinbeck
They successfully combined piracy and puritanism, which aren't so unlike when you come right down to it. Both had a strong dislike for opposition and both had a roving eye for other people's property.
John Steinbeck
Writers are a little below clowns and a little above trained seals.
John Steinbeck
You know how advice is. You only want it if it agrees with what you wanted to do anyway.
John Steinbeck
