More quotes by John Steinbeck
A woman holds dreadful power over a man who is in love with her but she should realize that the quality and force of his love is the index of his potential contempt and hatred.
John Steinbeck
There is nothing pleasanter than spading when the ground is soft and damp.
John Steinbeck
I've lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate.
John Steinbeck
Must the hunger become anger and the anger fury before anything will be done?
John Steinbeck
You can boast about anything if it's all you have. Maybe the less you have, the more you are required to boast.
John Steinbeck
Writers are a little below clowns and a little above trained seals.
John Steinbeck
Again it might have been the American tendency in travel. One goes, not so much to see but to tell afterward.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
When you're huntin' somepin you're a hunter, an' you're strong. Can't nobody beat a hunter. But when you get hunted - that's different. Somepin happens to you. You ain't strong: maybe you're fierce, but you ain't strong. - Muley
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
A man on a horse is spiritually, as well as physically, bigger then a man on foot.
John Steinbeck
This I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.
John Steinbeck
No one knows my ability the way I do. I am pushing against it all the time.
John Steinbeck
She wasn't happy, but then she wasn't unhappy. She wasn't anything. But I don't believe anyone is a nothing. There has to be something inside, if only to keep the skin from collapsing. This vacant eye, listless hand, this damask cheek dusted like a doughnut with plastic powder, had to have a memory or a dream.
John Steinbeck
That man who is more then his elements knows the land that is more than its analysis.
John Steinbeck
At about 10 o'clock in the morning the sun threw a bright dust-laden bar through one of the side windows and in and out of the beam flies shot like rushing stars.
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
How can the poem and the stink and the grating noise - the quality of light, the tone, the habit and the dream - be set down alive?
John Steinbeck
To a monster the norm must seem monstrous, since everyone is normal to himself.
John Steinbeck
