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.

More quotes by John Steinbeck
I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
John Steinbeck
A man so painfully in love is capable of self-torture beyond belief.
John Steinbeck
Where does discontent start? You are warm enough, but you shiver. You are fed, yet hunger gnaws you. You have been loved, but your yearning wanders in new fields. And to prod all these there's time, the Bastard Time.
John Steinbeck
The break would never come as long as fear could turn to wrath.
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
Farewell has a sweet sound of reluctance. Good-by is short and final, a word with teeth sharp to bite through the string that ties past to the future.
John Steinbeck
I have seen too many men go down, and I never permit myself to forget that one day, through accident or under the charge of a younger, stronger knight, I too will go down.
John Steinbeck
Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there.
John Steinbeck
Books ain't no good. A guy needs somebody - to be near him. A guy goes nuts if he ain't got nobody.
John Steinbeck
Death was a friend, and sleep was Death's brother.
John Steinbeck
We know what we got, and we don't care whether you know it or not.
John Steinbeck
... every little boy thinks he invented sin.
John Steinbeck
I have named the destroyers of nations: comfort, plenty, and security - out of which grow a bored and slothful cynicism, in which rebellion against the world as it is, and myself as I am, are submerged in listless self-satisfaction.
John Steinbeck
The great concepts of oneness and of majestic order seem always to be born in the desert.
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
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
And finally comes culture, which is entertainment, relaxation, transport out of the pain of living.
John Steinbeck
Well, every little boy thinks he invented sin. Virtue we think we learn, because we are told about it. But sin is our own designing.
John Steinbeck
Syntax, my lad. It has been restored to the highest place in the republic.
John Steinbeck
One can find so many pains when the rain is falling.
John Steinbeck
