More quotes by John Steinbeck
You got a God. Don't make no difference if you don' know what he looks like.
John Steinbeck
How can we live without our lives? How will we know it's us without our past?
John Steinbeck
There is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little they crash and shatter.
John Steinbeck
No one who is young is ever going to be old.
John Steinbeck
As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment.
John Steinbeck
When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch.
John Steinbeck
Oh, the strawberries don't taste as they used to and the thighs of women have lost their clutch!
John Steinbeck
Show me the man who isn't interested in discussing himself.
John Steinbeck
The curious hocus-pocus of criticism I can't take seriously. It consists in squirreling up some odd phrases and then waiting for a book to come running by.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
I dislike helplessness in other people and in myself, and this is by far my greatest fear of illness.
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
There's nothing in the world like that first taste of beer.
John Steinbeck
There are some times...when the love for people is strong and warm like a sorrow.
John Steinbeck
Many are the stories I have heard about myself. I have mistresses I have never met. When I hear that I am a sodomist and a zoophalist then I shall know that I have reached the high point of fame, but I suppose I can hardly expect such exaltation for many years.
John Steinbeck
Why do men like me want sons? he wondered. It must be because they hope in their poor beaten souls that these new men, who are their blood, will do the things they were not strong enough nor wise enough nor brave enough to do. It is rather like another chance at life like a new bag of coins at a table of luck after your fortune is gone.
John Steinbeck
A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
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
Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world
John Steinbeck
Four hoarse blasts of a ship's whistle still raise the hair on my neck and set my feet to tapping.
John Steinbeck
