Give a critic an inch, he'll write a play.
John Steinbeck
The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster. Men made it, but they can't control it.
John Steinbeck
They're a dark people with a gift for suffering way past their deserving. It's said that without whiskey to soak and soften the world, they'd kill themselves. (Irish)
John Steinbeck
Don't you love Jesus?' Well, I thought an' I thought an' finally I says, 'No, I don't know nobody name' Jesus. I know a bunch of stories, but I only love people.
John Steinbeck
The comfortable people in tight houses felt pity at first, and then distaste, and finally hatred for the migrant people.
John Steinbeck
Humanity has been passing through a gray and desolate time of confusion.
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
There is one thing pleasantly unconfusing about medicine. The direction and the end are fixed and the patient never works backward.
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
He can kill anything for need but he could not even hurt a feeling for pleasure.
John Steinbeck
No one knows my ability the way I do. I am pushing against it all the time.
John Steinbeck
With all our horrors and faults, somewhere in us there is a shining.
John Steinbeck
When you know a friend is there you do not go to see him. Then he's gone and you blast your conscience to shreds that you did not see him.
John Steinbeck
A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
John Steinbeck
There's a capacity for appetite... that a whole heaven and earth of cake can't satisfy
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
New York is a wonderful city... It is going to be the capital of the world.
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
In literary criticism the critic has no choice but to make over the victim of his attention into something the size and shape of himself.
John Steinbeck
Courage and fear were one thing too.
John Steinbeck
